An Iraqi-Emirati group plans a $700 million data cable from the UAE to Turkey through Iraq to reduce latency and boost regional connectivity.
An Iraqi-Emirati consortium is planning a $700 million subsea and terrestrial data cable, WorldLink, to connect the UAE to Turkey via Iraq, aiming to reduce latency and congestion by bypassing traditional routes.
The project, led by Iraq’s Tech 964 and backed by DIL Technologies and Breeze Investments, is privately funded and expected to take four to five years.
It follows a separate Saudi-backed $1 billion fiber-optic project in Syria, reflecting growing regional competition among Gulf states to become hubs for AI and data center infrastructure.
Both initiatives seek to enhance connectivity, route diversity, and network resilience across the Middle East.
