Colt Technology Services has announced plans to expand its operations across the Middle East, citing strong growth opportunities driven by rising cloud adoption, AI investment, digital transformation initiatives, and expanding financial markets across the region.
The company plans to strengthen its presence in existing markets such as Dubai and Turkey while pursuing partnerships with local operators in Saudi Arabia to extend solutions connected to its global infrastructure. Colt also intends to expand through partner-enabled models across additional GCC markets, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman.
As part of the strategy, Colt will enhance its digital infrastructure footprint by leasing capacity on major subsea cable systems linking Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, including the Europe India Gateway (EIG), Falcon, and Hawk cable networks. The move is aimed at supporting growing demand for high-capacity, low-latency connectivity as enterprises and hyperscalers increase their regional presence.
The expansion comes amid a surge in data centre development across the Middle East, with hyperscale operators investing heavily in infrastructure supported by favourable regulatory environments and competitive energy costs. Colt said increasing demand from multinational companies expanding into the region is reinforcing the Middle East’s role as a key digital connectivity hub.
