Project Pitch
The LUAU HUB is a 30-hectare integrated logistics and urban development project located in Luau, strategically positioned along the Corredor do Lobito and bordering the Zâmbia and the República Democrática do Congo. It combines a logistics platform (dry port), residential zones, agro-logistics facilities, commercial areas, technical training centers, and cross-border trade infrastructure. The business model is based on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), generating revenue through logistics services (storage, handling, and rail-road intermodality), leasing of commercial and industrial spaces, housing development, and market operations. Additional income streams include customs facilitation services, utilities provision, and digital trade platforms. Operations will be managed by a dedicated hub authority overseeing logistics flows, urban services, and commercial activities. The railway corridor acts as the backbone for cargo movement, supported by road networks and border control systems to ensure efficient regional trade. The project aims to formalize informal trade, reduce logistics costs, create jobs, and position Angola as a key regional trade and logistics hub.
