Design and Construction
About
Leveraging construction technology
From infrastructure delivery to safeguarding worker welfare, NEOM is optimizing development by applying construction technology through a discover-incubate-deploy approach across the value chain.
Cost Efficiency
Optimizing construction costs
To drive cost efficiency across projects, NEOM is integrating the adoption of emerging manufacturing technologies, including automation and advanced material science and engineering.
Sustainability
Reducing industry carbon footprint
By exploring the use of sustainable and durable materials, circular systems, and advanced construction technologies, NEOM aims to minimize the industry's carbon footprint compared to the use of traditional construction methods.

Addressing Global Challenges
Minimizing Environmental Impact
The construction industry accounts for roughly 37-40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it one of the largest single contributors to climate change. NEOM aims to reduce its environmental impact by fostering the adoption of sustainable and durable materials, implementing circular systems and deploying advanced construction technologies. -
Addressing Global Challenges
Carbon Abatement
Traditional industries, like cement production, account for around 8% of global carbon emissions, posing a significant challenge to achieving carbon neutrality goals. NEOM aims to minimize the industry's carbon footprint through Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) to reduce Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), advanced materials, systems and technologies.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Our key focus areas for advanced construction technologies include robotics, automation, material science, and engineering innovations that align with the size and scale of Saudi Vision 2030.
