A BOLD LEAP INTO THE FUTURE

It has garnered global attention for its ambitious goals of innovation, sustainability, and technological advancement. NEOM represents a futuristic realm where the very concepts of liveability, business, urbanism, and conservation are being redefined and reimagined at their core. During his visit to India, we had the opportunity to interact with Clark Williams, Marketing and Communications Director at Trojena, NEOM, gaining insights into the latest developments of this groundbreaking project.

NEOM is exactly not a city; it is a sprawling region nestled in the northwest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, destined to encompass a diverse array of attractions. Envisioned as a futuristic region powered by renewable energy, NEOM spans over 10,200 square miles, surpassing the size of some small countries.

Among the four regions already announced is the groundbreaking linear urban concept, THE LINE, alongside the advanced and clean industrial hub, Oxagon. Additionally, NEOM features the serene mountain retreat of Trojena and the luxurious island resort of Sindalah. Together, these regions epitomise NEOM's innovative approach to redefining urban living, industry, and leisure on a grand scale. Excitingly, NEOM has also unveiled the recent destinations located in the Gulf of Aqaba poised to feature futuristic hotels and further enhance the region's allure as a premier leisure and tourist destination.
