In the evolving story of Saudi Vision 2030, few projects have captured global imagination—and debate—like NEOM. Launched in 2017 under the leadership of Mohammed bin Salman, NEOM is not just a city. It is an ambition to redefine how humanity lives, works, travels, and connects.

Positioned along the Red Sea in northwest Saudi Arabia, NEOM spans over 26,500 km²—designed as a living laboratory for the future, powered by renewable energy, advanced technologies, and bold urban design.

NEOM is transitioning from concept to strategic execution.

Rather than simply building fast, it is now focused on building right:

• Prioritizing key zones with immediate impact

• Strengthening global partnerships

• Aligning with economic sustainability

In 2026, NEOM is increasingly being positioned as:

• A global logistics corridor linking continents

• A technology and innovation hub

• A platform for future industries

This shift creates a new opening—not just for investors, but for ecosystem builders.
