Neom will be the crown jewel of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud’s program to overhaul the economy of the world ’s largest oil exporter, and will provide many investment opportunities across an area of 26,500 square kilometers.
Al Saud plans to turn the remote region on the northwest coast of the Kingdom’s Red Sea into a futuristic technology center that will include the main elements of his so-called Vision 2030 to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil production, diversify its economy , and weaken social restrictions and increased investment.
“We work only with dreamers who strive to create something new, extraordinary. This place is not for ordinary people and companies. for hundreds of years “- stated prince.
It is expected that Neom will become a “state within a state” with its own laws, an independent government, whose work will be aimed at building an “idealistic society” that guarantees equal rights for men and women . Nine areas will become priority areas for the city’s economy , including digital technologies, new energy, biotechnology and media.
