Qatari telecommunications services provider Ooredoo is expanding its AI computing ambitions through an investment in Zankore, a dedicated AI compute and neocloud platform being developed with Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Nokia and Nvidia.
As founding shareholder and lead investor with a 49% stake, Ooredoo will commit about $800 million to Zankore’s launch and initial development. The initial investment is expected to contribute approximately $600 million in cumulative EBITDA over its first five years.
Zankore’s Development
Zankore, which will initially be developed in Indonesia before expanding across Southeast Asia, is targeting 1 gigawatt of NVIDIA DSX AI Factory capacity. The platform is expected to deliver about 200 megawatts of AI capacity in the first half of 2027 and will use NVIDIA DSX MaxLPS technology, which can increase computing output by up to 40% within the same power budget.
