Ooredoo launches local AI cloud service in Qatar

Ooredoo has unveiled a new sovereign AI cloud service powered by NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, hosted locally in Qatar’s data centres. The move supports the country’s broader aim to advance digital transformation and position itself as a regional leader in AI innovation.

The service accelerates AI adoption across key sectors such as energy, finance, logistics, healthcare and smart cities. As an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, Ooredoo now provides customers access to cutting-edge GPU technology and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform for developing and scaling AI solutions.

Use cases include real-time financial analysis, supply chain optimisation and chatbot development, all supported by high-performance cloud computing infrastructure operated by Syntys. These capabilities aim to deliver robust local AI services that meet national security and sovereignty requirements.

The initiative aligns with the Qatar Digital Agenda 2030 and the National AI Strategy, which advocate for local hosting, advanced digital infrastructure and responsible AI development. Ooredoo’s CEO, Sheikh Ali Bin Jabor Al-Thani, said the project will drive economic growth and innovation across all levels of society.
