About MECC
Shaping the future of energy and compute infrastructure across the Mekong basin
Mission
MECC exists to position the Mekong region as a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure. By facilitating strategic alignment between regional energy producers and global AI infrastructure investors, we support sovereign economic development while safeguarding long-term energy resilience.
We operate at the intersection of policy, capital, and technology — convening the stakeholders who will define the region's digital future.
Strategic Vision
We envision a Mekong region that powers the next era of digital growth — equitably, sustainably, and with regional technological leadership.
- Energy as leverage: Hydropower-rich nations hold strategic assets increasingly valuable to the global compute economy.
- Sovereign capacity: Regional AI infrastructure should serve regional interests first.
- Integrated development: Energy, compute, and economic policy must advance together.
Founding Context
MECC was established in recognition of a pivotal moment for Southeast Asia. As global demand for AI compute infrastructure accelerates exponentially, the Mekong basin's abundant hydropower resources represent an increasingly strategic asset.
Headquartered in Laos, MECC brings together regional expertise, policy networks, and private sector relationships to ensure that the region captures maximum value from this generational opportunity — while maintaining environmental stewardship and energy sovereignty.
