Oman Data Park (ODP), the leading data center and cloud services provider in the Sultanate, has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intro Technology, a key unit of Intro Holding, to establish the Kemet Data Center in the Suez Canal Economic Zone with an investment of $450 million.
This MoU marks the first strategic partnership between the two companies, aiming to provide cloud solutions, Internet of Things (IoT), and digital transformation services for regional and international markets, particularly in Africa and the Middle East.
The Kemet Data Center, which will cover over 80,000 square meters, will be developed in two phases. It is designed to deliver critical infrastructure for businesses seeking cost-effective, scalable cloud solutions, faster data processing, and enhanced latency—key components for improving user experience and business efficiency.
The facility’s strategic location in Egypt and its advanced digital infrastructure make it an ideal platform for companies aiming for secure and efficient cloud-based operations. In line with its sustainability objectives, the center will also incorporate solar energy to reduce its carbon footprint while providing cutting-edge services.
Engineer Maqbool Al Wahaibi, CEO of Oman Data Park, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This strategic collaboration with Intro Technology represents a significant milestone for Oman Data Park as we expand our presence in the region. The Kemet Data Center will not only enhance our capability to meet the growing demand for digital transformation but will also contribute to the economic development of the Middle East.”
“We are proud to bring our expertise in cloud services and data center management to this project and look forward to creating innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of businesses globally,” he added.
Oman Data Park’s responsibilities in the project include providing commercial services such as overseeing the design, consulting on construction, and managing the center’s day-to-day operations.
This collaboration underscores ODP’s commitment to supporting the region’s digital transformation and economic growth, solidifying its position as a key player in the technology and cloud services sector.
Mamdouh Abbas, founder and Chairman of Intro Holding, stated, “By partnering with Oman Data Park, we merge our deep expertise in cloud solutions with their extensive experience in data center services. The Kemet Data Center will be a cornerstone in driving Egypt’s digital transformation and will further establish the country as a vital hub for cloud and data services across the region.”
Through this partnership, Oman Data Park and Intro Technology are well-equipped to meet the rising demand for cloud services, IoT, and digital transformation solutions, leveraging Egypt’s strategic location and robust digital infrastructure.
