The latest news about the green and sustainability initiatives at NEOM
A number of contractors have been selected to submit bids for five different contracts to deliver tunnels that will serve as a railway junction for Saudi Arabia’s NEOM megaproject. NEOM has invited contractors, including Spain’s Acciona and Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC) and Italy’s WeBuild, to submit bids by 12 June for contracts to complete the Delta Junction scheme of tunnels connecting the Spine with the NEOM Connector.
The Spine is the infrastructure corridor running below THE LINE, one of the new cities planned for the NEOM project in the Tabuk region of northwest Saudi Arabia. The NEOM Connector is a planned 60km long infrastructure corridor to connect THE LINE and OXAGON, another region planned for NEOM.
As Korean diplomats prepare for a potential high-level visit to the Kingdom later this year, South Korea's deputy foreign minister stated to Arab News on Tuesday that the country wants to realise more cooperative projects with Saudi Arabia. President Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman committed to closer ties last November during the latter's first trip to Seoul since June 2019.
Centered on a theme of celebrating locations on screen, Variety held a cocktail reception on the rooftop of Neuehouse in Hollywood Wednesday night, presented by NEOM, a sustainable megacity and regional production hub located within Saudi Arabia’s northwestern corner. The event was attended by producers, production supervisors, location managers and others from across the film, television and content creation industries, offering Wayne Borg, NEOM’s managing director of media, entertainment and culture, an opportunity to introduce others to what the region has to offer and incentivize decision-makers to consider bringing their productions to the Middle East.
Seoul will host an investor relations event on Saudi Arabia’s NEOM mega-city project during the third quarter, Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho said Friday, as the Korean government is trying to tap into the initiative amid falling exports. The Saudi Arabia and Korean governments are arranging the meeting to bring together companies interested in the project and Saudi Arabian officials.
We often get asked where the projects are located and if it's possible to see the progress on a satellite map. It's not but THE LINE excavations can be seen. In time maybe the other projects will be become visible. We've listed the projects where we can find a location or where the main office is located. Please contact us with any updates.
The Red Sea Project of which 'Coral Bloom' makes part, has released photographs of a Foster + Partners-designed resort that will blend in with the natural environment on a Saudi Arabian island in the Red Sea. When The Red Sea Project completes it will contain fifty resorts with a total of 8,000 hotel rooms and 1,300 residential properties.
NEOM recently attracted 140 global leaders from across the TV and film industry to its showcase event. Its truly global offering of stages, production support facilities, talent and crews and highly attractive production incentives (generous 40%++) were on display, cementing its reputation as a leading production destination and industry hub for the Middle East and North Africa region.
NEOM has invited selected companies to bid for a contract to complete the next phase of the Duba Port Expansion at OXAGON Industrial City.
The US$500 billion NEOM project could announce five more regions, if a LinkedIn post is to be believed. Currently, four regions have been revealed: Sindalah, TROJENA, The LINE and OXAGON. However, a LinkedIn post from NEOM looking for a tourism experience manager mentions there will be nine regions.
Saudi Arabia’s $500 billion city of the future, NEOM, has announced plans to develop a new luxury island destination, Shushah Island, home to the world’s largest coral garden, according to a report by Hotelier Middle East. Located off the coast of the Red Sea, the island will include the world’s largest coral garden, a marina, hotels, villas, a beach club, a museum, and a research centre. According to the latest imagery, the museum will even be located underwater providing visitors with a unique and immersive experience.
NEOM’s satellite company has joined a global multilateral body as it looks to play a part in accelerating the inclusive growth of the digital economy in the region. OneWeb NEOM – a joint venture with the low earth orbit satellite connectivity company OneWeb – has been included as an Observer Member of the Digital Cooperation Organization, which includes 13 member states representing a population of over 600 million.
