Ooredoo Group has announced the acquisition of Q Data’s hyperscale facilities in Qatar through Syntys, transferring ownership of two Tier III-certified, carrier-neutral data centres located within the Qatar Free Zones.
Q Data QFZ LLC operates hyperscale infrastructure serving leading cloud and AI customers. The portfolio includes 5MW of live capacity and 7.5MW under development, adding 12.5MW to Syntys and bringing its total live IT capacity in Qatar to 26MW. The seller is Doha Venture Capital, a subsidiary of the Qatar Free Zones Authority.
Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, Group CEO of Ooredoo, said the acquisition aligns with the group’s strategy to invest in critical digital infrastructure and enable sovereign AI and cloud services across the region. By integrating Q Data into Syntys, he said, the group strengthens its ability to serve global cloud and AI providers while creating long-term shareholder value.
The deal responds to accelerating demand from hyperscale cloud platforms and AI operators across the Gulf, where available capacity remains constrained. It reinforces Syntys’ role as a carrier-neutral infrastructure provider for global platforms in Qatar and supports national digital economy objectives by anchoring hyperscale infrastructure within a Qatar-headquartered operator.
Sunita Bottse, CEO of Syntys, said Q Data brings proven, revenue-generating assets that meet hyperscale standards. Integrating these facilities expands Syntys’ capacity in Qatar with internationally recognised, Tier III-certified infrastructure tailored for cloud and AI workloads.
She added that the acquisition supports Syntys’ regional expansion plan to reach more than 120MW of installed capacity across MENA by 2030, accelerating growth through established, cash-generating assets in a strategic market.
Syntys was spun out from Ooredoo Group’s regional data centre operations and now operates facilities across MENA. The acquisition complements Ooredoo’s broader digital infrastructure portfolio, including the sovereign AI cloud launched in 2025 to provide local access to advanced compute services for public and private institutions in Qatar.
