Doha, Qatar — October 2025 — Ooredoo Group today announced its victory in the AI-Driven Energy Efficiency track of the GCC Sustainability Hackathon 2025, earning the top prize for its innovative power-optimization solution designed for telecom operations.
🎯 Innovating Green Telecom at Scale
- The hackathon, convened by the GCC Sustainability Innovation Hub, challenged regional telecom operators and startups to devise high-impact solutions across AI energy efficiency, e-waste management, and renewable energy.
- Ooredoo’s winning entry uses real-time AI analytics to dynamically optimize power load, cooling systems, and network equipment usage—delivering significant reductions in energy consumption while maintaining service performance.
- This achievement aligns with Ooredoo’s established leadership in sustainable telecom innovation, building upon its prior launch of the GCC Innovation Hub for Power Solutions, a collaborative initiative aimed at redefining energy use in network infrastructure.
“Winning this award is a proud validation of our commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said lead engineer at Ooredoo. “We believe efficient energy use is the future of telecom—and AI enables us to deliver that at scale.”
🌐 Collaboration, Impact & Forward Momentum
