Ooredoo Group has confirmed that its data centre subsidiary, Syntys, has successfully acquired Q Data QFZ LLC from Doha Venture Capital. The transaction incorporates two Tier III-certified, carrier-neutral facilities located within the Qatar Free Zones into the Syntys portfolio. This move adds 12.5MW of total hyperscale capacity to the platform, consisting of 5MW currently live and an additional 7.5MW under active development, bringing the provider’s total operational IT capacity in Qatar to 26MW.
The acquisition is a strategic response to the surging demand for mission-critical infrastructure from global cloud providers and AI platform operators within the Gulf region. By securing these revenue-generating assets, Syntys addresses the current capacity constraints in the Middle East while anchoring essential digital infrastructure within a Qatar-headquartered entity. The deal follows the 2025 launch of Ooredoo’s sovereign AI cloud, further consolidating the group’s influence over the regional digital economy and its ability to host advanced compute services locally.
This expansion marks a significant milestone in Syntys’ broader roadmap to achieve over 120MW of installed capacity across the MENA region by 2030. Leadership at both Ooredoo and Syntys emphasized that the integration of Q Data’s facilities strengthens their ability to serve the world’s largest hyperscalers through high-specification, disciplined infrastructure investment. As a carved-out entity specializing in neutral infrastructure, Syntys continues to position itself as the primary gateway for international tech firms seeking scalable, sovereign-compliant data solutions in the Middle East.
