Nadhmi al Nasr, CEO of the Neom Project, mentioned Neom is part of Bin Salman’s ‘ Vision 2030 ‘ plan. It includes Qiddiya, a new economy, and openness in order to attract the “greatest minds in the world and the best talents“.

In spite of everything, Neom has already started its development with the construction of an airport and a palace. So far there is no estimated date for the possible opening of a first stage. In fact, there is information that suggests that both the planning and development of the city are being financed with money borrowed from abroad.
