Doha, the capital of Qatar, is home to one of the most advanced transit systems in the world—the $36bn Doha Metro. Launched in 2019 ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the network now supports nearly a million residents and a growing number of international visitors.
Behind its sleek operations lies a complex web of interconnected software systems managing everything from signalling and communications to fire safety and public announcements. Any failure in these systems could cause major disruptions, threaten passenger safety, and damage public trust—potentially impacting the region’s economic activity and reputation.
To mitigate this risk, the Doha Metro Consortium brought in Escode, part of NCC Group, as a strategic partner. With over 30 years of global expertise in Software Escrow and resilience, we worked alongside Thales, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi, and others to secure the Metro’s digital infrastructure.
This partnership supports more than just continuity, it aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 by reinforcing regional connectivity and setting global benchmarks for smart, resilient infrastructure.
