NEOM has concluded its ‘Discover NEOM’ China tour with an event at its final destination, Hong Kong. The event, held at M+ in the West Kowloon Cultural District, was organized in partnership with the Belt and Road Office (BRO) under the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
A series of presentations by the NEOM leadership team led the event agenda, showcasing the progress and milestones of NEOM to date, as well as the partnership and investment opportunities available to the audience. A private showcase, entitled “Discover NEOM: A New Future by Design,” was a highlight of the event, providing guests with an immersive experience that explored THE LINE, the 170-kilometer-long city that will be the future of urban living; Oxagon, which is redefining the traditional industrial model; Trojena, the mountain resort of NEOM, and finally, Sindalah, a luxury island destination in the Red Sea that will be open to the public later this year.
CEO of NEOM Nadhmi Al-Nasr, said: “We would like to thank the finance and business sector for their support and contribution to the success of our tours “Discover NEOM”. We enjoyed showcasing NEOM’s tangible on-the-ground progress and discussing the range of investment opportunities available to Hong Kong companies. We are looking forward to continuing to engage with our Hong Kong partners to meet our shared goals for a better future.”
Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Government of the HKSAR Algernon Yau, said: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome the NEOM leadership team to Hong Kong. As an open economy and one of the world’s top financial, investment, and innovation hubs, Hong Kong stands ready to support Saudi Arabia in achieving its vision while bringing growth opportunities for Hong Kong. Saudi Arabia is a key player in the development of the Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI). With our internationally-benchmarked professional services and talent pool, Hong Kong can provide support for projects, such as NEOM, along the Belt and Road countries. We will continue to foster exchanges and cooperation with Saudi Arabia on all fronts, with a view to achieving mutual benefits and contributing to the B&RI.”
Discover NEOM Hong Kong is the latest stop for the global road show, following events in key markets including Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, Berlin, and London.
