There are about 140,000 construction workers currently working around the clock in the NEOM project, said CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr.
In his speech at the Saudi-British Great Future Initiative Conference in Riyadh, Al-Nasr expected that the number of project workers will rise to 200,000 next year.
He added that there are about 5,000 full-time employees from more than 100 countries currently living and working in NEOM.
NEOM offers outstanding business opportunities for both local and international partners, said the CEO, noting that life is beginning to evolve clearly in the project with the presence of thousands of workers on the ground there.
