NEOM is a global transformation project in Saudi Arabia. To put things into perspective, NEOM is fourteen times the size of Singapore or the size of Belgium. Coming in at 170km, the Saudi government is set to invest around $100-200 billion to build this city with no carbon emissions and 100% renewable energy. The project complements the Saudi government's Vision 2030 to diversify the economy, tackle climate change, and improve people's lives inside and outside the country’s boundaries. It will also be a special economic zone that will be a hub for various industries, create a lot of job opportunities, and attract investment to the country.
