Deal brings 12.5MW of hyperscale capacity to Syntys in Qatar Free Zones

DOHA, Qatar , Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ooredoo Group and Syntys announced today that Syntys has acquired Q Data QFZ LLC, which operates hyperscale data centre facilities in Qatar serving leading cloud and AI customers, with 5MW live and 7.5MW under development.

The transaction transfers ownership of two Tier III‑certified, carrier‑neutral facilities within the Qatar Free Zones and brings Syntys’ total live IT capacity in the country to 26MW. The seller is Doha Venture Capital, a subsidiary of Qatar Free Zones Authority. 

The acquisition responds to accelerating deployment requirements from hyperscale cloud providers and AI platform operators across the Gulf region, where available capacity remains constrained relative to demand. The transaction supports Qatar’s national digital economy objectives by anchoring this hyperscale infrastructure within a Qatar-headquartered data centre platform focused on mission-critical cloud and AI infrastructure.

Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, Group CEO, Ooredoo, said: “This acquisition directly aligns with Ooredoo Group’s strategic focus on investing in critical digital infrastructure and enabling sovereign AI and cloud services across the region. By integrating Q Data’s hyperscale facilities into Syntys, we reinforce Syntys’ ability to serve the world’s leading cloud and AI providers while delivering sustainable value for our shareholders.” 

“Q Data brings proven, revenue‑generating assets that meet the rigorous standards our clients demand,” said Sunita Bottse, Chief Executive Officer of Syntys. “By integrating these facilities into the Syntys platform, we expand our capacity in Qatar with internationally recognised, Tier III‑certified, carrier‑neutral infrastructure tailored to the needs of hyperscale and AI customers.” 

Bottse noted the transaction supports Syntys’ regional expansion programme. “We’re executing a disciplined plan to reach more than 120MW of installed capacity across MENA by 2030,” she said. “This acquisition advances that strategy by integrating established, cash‑generating assets that strengthen our presence in a critical market.” 

The deal strengthens Syntys’ position as a carrier-neutral infrastructure provider for global cloud and AI platforms in Qatar. Syntys was established through the carve-out of Ooredoo Group’s regional data centre operations and operates facilities across markets in MENA and beyond.

The acquisition complements Ooredoo Group’s digital infrastructure portfolio, which includes the sovereign AI cloud launched in 2025 that provides public and private institutions in Qatar with local access to advanced compute services.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
