Ooredoo Group has confirmed that its data centre subsidiary, Syntys, has acquired Q Data QFZ LLC from Doha Venture Capital, adding two Tier III-certified, carrier-neutral facilities in the Qatar Free Zones to its portfolio.
The acquisition brings 12.5MW of hyperscale capacity to Syntys, including 5MW currently live and a further 7.5MW under active development. This increases Syntys’ total operational IT capacity in Qatar to 26MW.
The move is a strategic response to rising demand for mission-critical infrastructure from global cloud providers and AI platform operators across the Gulf. By securing revenue-generating assets, Syntys addresses regional capacity constraints while anchoring critical digital infrastructure within a Qatar-headquartered entity.
The deal follows Ooredoo’s 2025 launch of a sovereign AI cloud, further strengthening the group’s position in the regional digital economy and its ability to host advanced compute services locally.
The expansion marks a key milestone in Syntys’ roadmap to exceed 120MW of installed capacity across the MENA region by 2030. Executives at Ooredoo and Syntys said the integration of Q Data’s facilities enhances their ability to serve hyperscale customers through high-specification, neutral infrastructure.
As a carved-out entity focused on carrier-neutral platforms, Syntys is positioning itself as a primary gateway for international technology firms seeking scalable, sovereign-compliant data solutions in the Middle East.
