NEOM City is Set to Become The First Totally Digitized City In the World
A Global Cybersecurity Forum took place in Riyadh earlier this month and brought together more than 140 speakers who came to discuss a number of topics related to cybersuecrity and the future of investing in it and the economic opportunities it shall provides.
During the event, CEO of Saudi Arabia’s landmark development project NEOM, Nadhmi Al-Nasr discussed details about the future mega development project which will become the world’s very first completely digitalized city.
Al-Nasr spoke during a session in the forum and revealed that one of the many projects that have been developed in the city of NEOM is the medical system dubbed “Doctor NEOM,” which is designed to gather health-related data and warn about any health problems that could occur in the future.
He also added that work on the city’s overall strategy is almost completed and will be unveiled in March.
“We are going to be the first place in the world that is fully digitized. We are going to be the first region in the world where we are going to be a 100 percent cashless facility. We are going to be the first place with a digital health backbone that connects everyone in the smart city and provides a 24-hour health service […] We will have fully autonomous mobility, we will have only electric vehicles and public transport will be fully autonomous,” he said.
Dr. Maliha Hashmi, Executive Director of the Future of Health and Well-Being sector at #NEOM, delivered the keynote address for the region’s largest @MedlabSeries and discussed innovations NEOM creates in the shifting design, systems and journeys of care. #mymedlab#DiscoverNEOM pic.twitter.com/iFues2tEvN

NEOM is a half-a-trillion-dollar mega city that will provide the highest quality of life to its residents and is expected to be 33 times bigger than NYC! It has also been designed in a way that focuses on various key industries including energy and water, biotechnology, food, advanced manufacturing, and even entertainment.
The Kingdom’s own Rania Nashar has made it to Forbes’ annual list of “The World’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women” and we can’t help but feel so much pride!
Nashar was ranked the 99th in the list that includes prominent names such as Angela Merkel, Kamaala Harris, Melinda Gates, Rihanna, & many other global female trailblazers.
Nashar is the first female to hold the position of CEO CEO of Saudi commercial bank, Samba Financial Group. She also made it to this ranking through her tremendous efforts in implementing changes that empower women of Saudi Arabia, all of which comes as part of the 2030 Vision.
Nashar has exceeded 20 years of experience in the field of commercial banking and has been inspiring young Saudi women to take on the challenge as well and break the glass ceiling and for that, we congratulate her.
The King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) has received the American Concrete Institute (ACI) award for concrete construction excellence.
The building, which is designed by Zahra Hadid Architects (ZHA), is one of the most well-known landmarks in Riyadh. It’s known for its unique architectural design.
The structure features an hexagonal honeycomb structure which stands out with hexagonal cell openings providing shade from the harsh sun. “ZHA projects have always been unique and creative in an unprecedented, nontraditional way. There’s no other structure like it in the entire world,” Saudi architect Mokhtar Al Shoaibi told Arab News.
The building is made of extremely complex steel, said Saudi architect Mukhtar Al-Shoaibi.
“The contractor working on the job must have gone through so much to install the joints and then apply the sheets over it and now it acts as a monument in the Kingdom,” he told Arab News.
It’s also worth mentioning that KAPSARC won the title of ‘smartest building’ in Saudi Arabia from the Honeywell Smart Building Awards program.
“I’m proud to see Saudis accomplish that. There are many more major projects coming up in the Kingdom as well, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll present,” Mukhtar Al-Shoaibi said.
