NEOM is the planned independent economic zone in the Northwest of Saudi Arabia. It is born based on the ambition of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to see the country develop into a pioneering and thriving model of excellence in various and important areas of life.
The vision of NEOM is “The land of the future, where the greatest minds and best talents are empowered to embody pioneering ideas and exceed boundaries in a world inspired by imagination.”
Sixteen sectors are driving the implementation of NEOM’s vision: energy, water, mobility, biotech, food, manufacturing, media, entertainment/culture/fashion, technology/digital, tourism, sport, design/construction, services, health/well-being, education, and livability. Each sector will become an incorporated company under NEOM. Currently ENOWA is one of the first incorporated companies to be formed in NEOM which includes the Energy and Water sectors. NEOM will also be divided to regions in which some sector will service the region in the future. Current publicly announced regions include The Line, Oxagon and Trojena.
The planned 2020- 2030 NEOM Water infrastructure will include an estimated 31 Water Recycling Plants (WRPs) and Water Recycling and Recovery Plants (WRRPs) serving a population of approximately 3 million by 2030.
NEOM resides in the North‐western region of Saudi Arabia, and spans over 26,500 km².
