- NEOM, a $500bn regional development comprised of flagship projects such as The Line (a sustainable vertical city) and the world’s largest green hydrogen project; and
- In Riyadh alone: Qiddiya (largest entertainment, sports & culture city in the world); Diriyah Gate Project (largest heritage project in the world); Sports Boulevard Project (at 135km, the longest longitudinal park in the world); King Salman Park Project (largest park in the world); Riyadh Art Project (largest open art gallery in the world); Tuwaiq Tower project (tallest heritage tower in the world); Riyadh Metro and Airport projects (6 runways); the King Abdullah International Gardens Project (largest indoor garden project); New Murabba (largest Downtown project in the world).

However, the broader potential from new industries is even greater, including in renewables (50% of national power by 2030); technology ($9bn invested in regional HQs from Microsoft and Oracle); financial services (equities market capitalisation to match South Korea by 2030); tourism (top 5 destination with 100m visitors p.a. by 2030); and skills & education (6,000 new schools).
