Iraq's government-operated national data centre in Baghdad, centralising IT infrastructure for public sector e-services and digital transformation.
The Iraq National Data Centre (INDC) in Baghdad is a government-managed facility operated under the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of Iraq. Established to centralise and secure the digital infrastructure of Iraqi government ministries and agencies, the INDC serves as the primary hub for e-government services, national databases, and public sector digital transformation initiatives.
The facility provides colocation services to Iraqi government entities and state-owned enterprises, hosting the computing and storage infrastructure for critical national systems including national ID databases, customs systems, and financial management platforms. The INDC maintains connections to international internet carriers via Iraq's major telecommunications operators and undersea cable systems.
As Iraq continues its post-conflict reconstruction and economic development, the National Data Centre plays a vital role in building the digital infrastructure foundation required for e-commerce growth, banking modernisation, and citizen services delivery. The facility is supported by technical assistance from international organisations and bilateral development partners committed to Iraq's digital infrastructure development.
