MEEZA has signed a landmark agreement worth QR1bn with a global hyperscaler that is one of the world's fastest-growing cloud service providers.
The agreement represents the largest contract in MEEZA's history. It will provide 8 megawatts of operational capacity for data centre services under a long-term leasing agreement.
It also marks a significant milestone for MEEZA and Qatar's digital infrastructure ecosystem, reflecting the growing demand for world-class data centre capacity driven by the rapid expansion of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and data-intensive technologies.
The capacity underscores the strong demand for MEEZA's data centre infrastructure and the global hyperscaler's confidence in MEEZA's ability to deliver highly resilient, secure, and efficient digital infrastructure.
The new data centre campus will support the hyperscaler's growing cloud and AI workloads, providing the highest levels of reliability, efficiency, and scalability while contributing to Qatar's ambitions to establish itself as a leading regional hub for digital infrastructure and attract global technology investments.
MEEZA CEO Mohammed Ali al-Ghaithani said, "This landmark agreement, the largest in MEEZA's history, is a powerful testament to the growing demand for our data centre infrastructure and the confidence that global technology leaders place in MEEZA. Securing this commitment reflects the strength of the market opportunity and the importance of scalable digital infrastructure.
"As outlined in our previously released statements, we are on track to quadruple our current data centre capacity. This expansion will support Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Qatar Digital Agenda 2030, while enabling us to meet the rapidly growing demand for cloud and AI infrastructure."
Al-Ghaithani said, "Our collaboration with one of the world's fastest-growing cloud service providers further reinforces MEEZA's pivotal role in accelerating Qatar's digital transformation and strengthening its position as a trusted destination for global investments, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced technology infrastructure. We are proud to support the next phase of digital growth in Qatar and look forward to delivering infrastructure that meets the highest international standards."
By combining MEEZA's deep local expertise and operational capabilities with the global reach of a leading hyperscaler, the agreement represents a major step forward in the development of Qatar's digital infrastructure landscape.
MEEZA continues to set new benchmarks in the design, operation, and management of data centres, delivering secure, resilient, and scalable infrastructure designed to meet the highest international standards.
