A great video from the NEOM team showcasing the amazing diversity of landscapes in NEOM.

The Leaders Development Institute (LDI) has signed a partnership agreement with Neom — the joint stock company developing the Neom economic zone — to promote sporting activities in the planned smart city, in accordance with the directives of Sports Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Turki Al-Faisal. 

LDI will act as sports adviser to Neom and help it design and activate plans for sporting activities, which will be aimed at both eager amateurs and aspiring professionals. Neom’s aim is to become “an international hub for sports” with cutting-edge facilities to host “the world’s biggest sporting events.”

Ruder Finn has been hired by Saudi Arabia to handle CSR and sustainability work for Neom, the $500bn megacity that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has planned for the country’s Northwest coast.

Ruder Finn won the one-year, $1.7m contract in a competitive review, and formally started working on the business in late May.  Teneo is among other agencies working on Neom, which is part of the Crown Prince’s Vision 2030 reform program and plan to diversify the Saudi economy.

The enrollment in the course has begun following the success of the first phase of the "NEOM" Program for Internal Scholarships Ending with Employment that was launched in late January 2020, in cooperation with Fahd Bin Sultan University in Tabuk.

"NEOM" said that the applicants will be able to register and start studying for a bachelor’s degree in specializations that include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science and Analysis at Fahd Bin Sultan University, with the possibility of students who excel in their studies to be sent on scholarship abroad to complete their last academic year in an American university.

NEOM in cooperation with Misk Academy of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Foundation (Misk) has launched the business skills program ' SPARK', which comes to support and encourage entrepreneurs, who want to develop their ideas to start their businesses, through providing them with needed skills and experience.

The program aims to increase the number of small and medium enterprises that contribute to improving and diversifying production sources in line with Saudi Vision 2030 to raise the percentage of contributing enterprises to the gross domestic product (GDP) and accelerate the economic transformation.

They will also have the opportunity to present their projects to the arbitration committee consisting of representatives from "NEOM", Misk Academy and Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monshaat).
