Riyadh – Mubasher: NEOM has achieved a new milestone to become the world’s leading destination for attracting the best minds and investments after signing a one-year agreement with the Saudi Telecom Company (stc) to develop a transition into cognitive cities, according to a press release.

The collaboration comprises the construction of the first phases of infrastructure that will transform NEOM into a cognitive city that utilises data for the wellness of residents and businesses way more than smart cities do.

Moreover, the partnership cements NEOM’s position as a global technology hub and will help realise the kingdom’s goals of a strong digital economy that contributes to the diversification of the public income.

Under the deal, stc will operate the 5G networks and build an innovation centre in NEOM. The 5G network is pivotal to the internet of things (IoT) that will make these cities stand out.

Further, it will facilitate the launch of comprehensive potentials for virtual reality (VR) applications, augmented reality (AR), as well as the development of smart houses and autonomous vehicles (AV), allowing interaction between people and digital infrastructure.
