Google Cloud has announced the opening of its Doha cloud region at an official launch event. The Doha cloud region will be a catalyst for economic development and will enable employment opportunities in the Qatari market as more businesses grow and expand with the power of cloud technologies. The new Doha region is part of Google Cloud’s global network of 37 regions and 112 zones that provides cloud services to over 200 countries and territories worldwide.
The new cloud region will meet the growing demand for cloud services in Qatar and the Middle East region and support Qatar’s National Vision 2030 which aims to transform the country into a digital economy through innovation and digital transformation.
According to research the new Doha cloud region is expected to drive increased economic activity and is estimated to contribute a cumulative 18.9 billion USD in higher gross economic output to the economy of Qatar between 2023 and 2030 and support the creation of 25,000 jobs in 2030 alone. This new cloud region is the latest crucial investment made by Google Cloud in Qatar, following the recent opening of a country office and virtual center of excellence (CoE) in Msheireb.
