Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Blue Owl Capital (Blue Owl) have entered into a strategic partnership agreement with the objective of creating a digital infrastructure platform intended to accelerate global compute available to leading hyperscalers amid surging cloud and AI transformation.
QIA’s contribution to the partnership is expected to help launch a digital infrastructure platform with more than $3bn of initial data centre assets and is expected to grow over time. In addition, QIA brings to the partnership a global investment perspective, a long-term capital base, and a deep experience in infrastructure and technology sectors aligning with Blue Owl’s permanent capital strategy.
Mohammed Saif Al-Sowaidi, CEO of QIA said: “This partnership aligns with QIA’s strategy to engage with leading global firms that are addressing the world’s growing demand for data centers.”
Qatar Investment Authority is the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar. QIA was founded in 2005 to invest and manage the state reserve funds.
Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz, Co-CEOs of Blue Owl said: “QIA’s commitment to innovation aligns seamlessly with our strategy to provide financing solutions to large-scale, resilient, digital infrastructure portfolios.
Blue Owl’s Digital Infrastructure strategy is part of Blue Owl’s Real Assets platform and is focused exclusively on investing in the assets powering cloud and AI innovation. As of 30 June 2025, the strategy has raised $39bn of capital, investing in 104 facilities across 28 global markets, according to the US asset manager.
