We like to keep up with news and events in NEOM, Saudi Arabia and the surrounding area. Here are some of the news sites we read regularly.
Geotechnical firm recently awarded £50m package on controversial NEOM project. Keller is preparing for work on its first major contract on NEOM, a $500bn new city set to be built on the coast of Saudi Arabia. The ground engineering contractor released its half-year results today, which demonstrated strong growth and highlighted NEOM’s “potential to generate contract revenue in the hundreds of millions of pounds in future years”.
NEOM is launching an exhibition in Jeddah to showcase the recently announced designs for THE LINE. It includes detailed designs, renderings, and architectural concepts of THE LINE, allowing visitors to better understand the urban development project's scope and complexity.
A new marketing campaign has been launched for Saudi Arabia’s long-running project to construct NEOM, a science fiction megacity on the Red Sea.
The project’s official website has been updated, and activity on its Twitter account has increased. In addition, videos and pictures of “THE LINE,” a hypothetical “vertical metropolis” that would be 170 kilometers (105 miles) long and 200 meters wide, have been posted on the NEOM page as part of a larger campaign.
Fayik Abdi has become the first Saudi to qualify for the alpine skiing Giant Slalom category at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which will take place from Feb. 4 to 20. In February 2021, Henrik May received an email from NEOM, asking him for a Saudi skier who would be interested in filming a shoot on a slope they had prepared for skiing. He nominated Abdi, who took part in the first ski film ever shot in Saudi Arabia.
NEOM will launch an exhibition that showcases the revolutionary designs of the city of the future, "THE LINE", starting from Monday in Jeddah. The exhibition which will be open to the public for free includes detailed designs, and architectural and engineering presentations of the city.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s grand $500 billion project will become home to nine million people in a utopian world where humans, robots, and AI co-exist. NEOM looks as futuristic and science-fictiony as one could imagine: the 26,500-kilometre square site will stretch 460km along the coast of the Red Sea in the Tabuk Province of Saudi Arabia.
Imagine living in a vertical metropolis with no cars and a temperate climate, housed in twin high-rises more than 100 miles long, with hanging gardens and stunning views. In this Shangri-La, there’s no traffic or pollution, just green space, amenities and high-speed mass transit.
At the same time as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's visit to France, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has just publicly released a new video showing the urbanist ambition of its futuristic megapolis NEOM, currently under development.
Saudi Arabia and Greece signed an agreement to deepen ties in the area of green hydrogen and clean energy on the sidelines of the official visit of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ahead of the Saudi-Greek Investment Forum.
Saudi Arabia will set aside 300 billion riyals ($80 billion) for an investment fund tied to the crown prince’s flagship megaproject, NEOM, and plans an initial public offering of the project on the kingdom’s stock market as soon as 2024.
As NEOM’s THE LINE designs have been revealed, the focus is now shifting to funding the development. The project’s masterminds are already aware of the challenges and what is needed to bring in investors and a possible stock market flotation has been earmarked for 2024.
