Layer 01 · The foundation
Land.
Ground leases and freehold beneath telecom sites, acquired to secure permanent tenure and remove rent escalation from operators' costs.
Digital Infrastructure Holdings
The physical layer of the digital economy.
We develop, own and manage the land, towers, power and fibre that mobile networks and compute depend on, across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia.

01 · The demand
Every digital service depends on a physical site.
A video call, a payment and a query to an AI model each cross radio masts, fibre and power systems before they reach a screen. As mobile data grows, 5G densifies and AI moves into everyday use, the constraint shifts from software to sites: the land, structures, power and connections that networks and compute require.

Demand is compounding. The supply of well-located, powered and shared sites is not keeping pace.
02 · Who we are
An owner and operator of digital infrastructure.
Dubai International Financial Centre
Digital Infrastructure Holdings (DIH) develops, owns and manages digital infrastructure in markets where demand is rising faster than supply. DIH is headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre and is led by a team that has built, operated and sold tower and ground-lease platforms in three regions.
We invest with a long horizon, in assets that are contracted for decades, indexed to inflation and shared by the operators that depend on them.
01
Operator-led.
Our partners have run tower companies, network operations centres and national build programmes. Local teams originate, build and operate in each market.
02
Contracted.
Revenue is secured at entry through long-term, inflation-linked agreements with mobile operators and other anchor tenants.
03
Shared by design.
Each site is built to host several operators and services, which lowers the cost of coverage for each of them.
03 · The platform
We invest at the site, where land, power and connectivity meet.
A single site can combine the ground, a tower, the power that runs it and the fibre that connects it. We invest in each of these layers, so that each one supports the value of the others. The best-located and best-powered sites can then take on new capacity as demand arrives.
Layer 02
Towers.
Passive tower infrastructure acquired from mobile operators through sale-and-leaseback, or built to order under long-term contracts.
Layer 02 · Shared tenancy
Shared by design.
Each site is built to host several operators and services, which lowers the cost of coverage for each of them.
Layer 03
Power.
Site energy, from grid connection to hybrid and solar systems, supplied under long-term energy-as-a-service agreements.
Layer 04
Fibre.
Backhaul and neutral-host connectivity that links sites to the core network.
Layer 05
Edge compute.
Regional and edge capacity developed on powered sites where contracted demand exists.
Layers 01–05 · One site
Each layer supports the value of the others.
The best-located and best-powered sites can then take on new capacity as demand arrives.
04 · Ground leases
The ground beneath the network.
Most towers stand on land the tower owner does not own. The ground is rented from farmers, families, municipalities and building owners under leases that expire, escalate and must be renegotiated site by site.
We acquire those leases and the underlying land rights. Landowners receive capital today in place of rent collected over decades. Tower owners gain secure, long-term tenure at a predictable cost.
Three parties, one transaction
LANDOWNERS
A capital sum today for a future rent stream, with no change to the use of their land.
TOWER COMPANIES AND OPERATORS
Long-term tenure under standardised, indexed terms; the risk of losing a site is removed.
INVESTORS
Senior, contracted rent from investment-grade tenants, secured on land.
Our founding team built a ground-lease and tower platform across European markets from 2016, and realised it with a global infrastructure investor in 2026.

How we add value
- 01Lease standardisation and indexation agreed with major tower companies.
- 02Additional tenants on acquired sites.
- 03A network of local origination partners in each market.
05 · The contribution
Shared infrastructure lowers the cost of connecting a country.
When operators share towers, power and fibre, fewer structures are built, less diesel is burned and coverage reaches further for the same capital. Operators redeploy the capital released by a sale-and-leaseback into spectrum, radio equipment and service. Governments gain neutral infrastructure that supports national coverage and 5G objectives and draws long-term foreign investment.
01
For mobile operators.
Capital released from passive assets. Predictable long-term cost. Faster rollout through committed build-to-suit programmes.
02
For governments and regulators.
Neutral infrastructure open to every operator. Coverage and 5G targets reached with less duplication. Long-term foreign direct investment.
03
For landowners.
Capital today for land rights beneath existing sites.
04
For investors.
Long-duration, contracted, inflation-linked cash flows from assets that mobile networks cannot operate without.
06 · The approach
Four stages, applied in every market.
- 01
Acquire
We originate transactions directly with operators, governments and landowners, often before a formal process begins. Each entry is anchored by a long-term, inflation-linked agreement.
- 02
Build
Committed build-to-suit programmes extend coverage for anchor tenants on pre-agreed terms. Power and fibre are added where they strengthen the site.
- 03
Scale
Additional operators are added to existing sites. Operations are centralised, ground leases acquired and maintenance digitised to reduce the cost of each site.
- 04
Optimise
Mature platforms are refinanced, listed or sold to long-term owners, and capital is recycled into the next platform.
07 · The record
Three platforms, built from the first site.
Before establishing DIH, its founding team built three tower platforms in the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and South Asia. Each began with a single portfolio and grew under long-term agreements with leading mobile operators.
Middle East and North Africa
Since 2017
Towers
A multi-country tower platform, built from a first portfolio in Jordan in partnership with the region's leading mobile operators.
Europe
2016–2026
Ground leases and towers
A ground-lease and tower platform across European markets, realised with a global infrastructure investor in 2026.
South Asia
Since 2018
Towers
An independent tower company, built from inception in Bangladesh.
In aggregate, the founding team has executed more than 45,000 tower transactions.
08 · Footprint
Four regions, chosen for demand and for access.
We focus on markets that are large, under-built and under-served by global infrastructure capital. In these markets, local relationships and operating experience decide who can transact.
AfricaBuild-to-suit and tower-power opportunities in selected markets.
09 · How we operate
A lean team on an operating platform we own.
DIH runs its investment and operating processes on its own AI operating platform, which holds one governed record of every site, contract and decision. The platform shortens diligence and standardises the integration of each company we acquire. It also gives investors and lenders an auditable view of every asset.
