‎Saudi Arabia's megacity NEOM will see the inauguration of its industrial city after a month, said CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr.

He told Al-Arabiya TV, on the sidelines of the "Investment Future Initiative" conference that NEOM will convert into a holding company and that several subsidiaries will be established across all sectors.

NEOM Tech and Digital Holding Co. signed with OneWeb a joint venture agreement worth $200 million (SAR 750 million) to bring high-speed satellite connectivity to NEOM, Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and neighboring East African countries, according to Argaam's data.
