This was in part due to the un-paralleled aspirations for the project: “The land of the future, where the greatest minds and best talents are empowered to embody pioneering ideas and exceed boundaries in a world inspired by imagination “.The name NEOM is constructed from two words with the first three letters form the Greek prefix ‘‘neo’’ meaning “new” and the fourth letter is from the abbreviation of “Mostaqbal” (an Arabic word, مستقبل, meaning “future”).NEOM will enjoy investor friendly governance and a regulatory framework focusedon ease of doing business and supported by streamlined visa requirements. Theregion will be powered by 100% renewable energy.
