Ooredoo and Kloudville Launch B2B Digital Marketplace to Empower SMBs Across MENA

Ooredoo Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Kloudville to launch an innovative B2B digital marketplace. This new platform will provide customers with seamless access to a wide array of AI-powered tools, cloud services, cybersecurity solutions, and enterprise software, all integrated with Ooredoo’s telecom offerings.

The solution, built on Kloudville’s “Marketplace 360” platform, is designed to act as a one-stop hub where businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs), can easily discover, compare, and subscribe to digital solutions that are transforming how they manage essential services.

This partnership marks a pivotal shift for Ooredoo, positioning the company as a technology hub rather than merely a telecom provider. By curating and bundling essential digital services, Ooredoo is empowering businesses to accelerate their transition to an AI-driven, cloud-first future.

Ooredoo’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, emphasized the shift, stating, “Telcos are no longer just connectivity providers. We are becoming digital enablers for businesses. This B2B digital marketplace offers cost-effective, scalable solutions that drive efficiency and growth for our business customers. By simplifying access to essential digital services, we are making it easier than ever for businesses to embrace AI, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions. This is a natural progression of our strategy to become a leading digital infrastructure player in the region.”

The partnership with Kloudville further strengthens Ooredoo’s digital transformation efforts. Per Borgklint, CEO of Kloudville, commented, “Ooredoo is delivering on its vision for digital transformation in a bold and innovative way. This vision aligns seamlessly with Kloudville’s mission to empower telecom operators to expand beyond connectivity and into digital ecosystems. Our Marketplace 360 platform will enable Ooredoo to curate and deliver AI-driven, cloud-first solutions to businesses across the MENA region in a zero-touch fashion, exposing both internal assets and external partnerships to joint offerings.”

This marketplace will first roll out in Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Tunisia, and Algeria between 2025 and 2026, with plans for further expansion across the region. The partnership was officially signed at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, marking another major step in Ooredoo’s commitment to driving digital innovation and transforming business services across the MENA region.
