The Middle East has become a world-class pioneer in smart cites, but Saudi Arabia's NEOM is unlike any other and has an ambitious vision to re-engineer how we think about human living.
TowerXchange spoke with Mansoor Hanif, Executive Director Emerging Technologies at NEOM, about the megaproject and how NEOM hopes to accelerate Saudi Arabia’s position in the world as a leading industry 4.0 hub.
What is NEOM?
Located in the Tabuk province of north-west Saudi Arabia, “NEOM is designed to accelerate human progress across domains” explains Mansoor. “We have 15 sectors working across all of these domains, each responsible for building their vertical ecosystems”.
