Maranhão is set to host Brazil's first green data center dedicated to artificial intelligence development. Located in the future Export Processing Zone (ZPE-MA), the project, named LUMEN, stems from a partnership between the State Secretariat for Economic Development and Strategic Programs (SEDEPE) and TED IA.

It will utilize high-performance computing powered solely by renewable energy. The data center aims to work with universities to foster talent and advance technology. The initiative is expected to have significant socioeconomic impacts and enhance digital sovereignty and cybersecurity at a national level.
