Saudi Arabia's NEOM unveiled a new video Thursday showing the rapid development underway at the business and tourism megaproject, with more than 140,000 construction workers in key sectors across the futuristic site.

The progress film shows real-world footage of large-scale construction at the mega-site and reveals that its workforce has doubled over the past year.

Key regions - THE LINE, Oxagon, Sindalah and Trojena - are rapidly gaining pace, according to footage revealed in the three-minute video, titled 'NEOM in Progress', which shows how Saudi Arabia's master plan is becoming a step closer to reality every day.

“NEOM is accelerating human progress. A new future is coming. This proud Saudi project for the world is progressing rapidly. Major construction work has already been completed. We are in the first phase of our cognitive city THE LINE.” Work continues on “the renovated Oxagon industrial city, our Trojena mountain destination, Sindalah luxury island and Gulf of Aqaba destinations.”

According to the video, more than 100 nationalities now participate in NEOM's diverse workforce. He added that NEOM is helping to develop groundbreaking innovations, such as cell-grown seafood, autonomous cars, electric marine gliders and electronic self-service gates at NEOM Bay Airport.

He also unveiled progress on NEOM's new luxury island resort, Sindalah, which will rival top global tourist destinations such as Monaco and Athens with its year-long luxury offerings. There, guests can expect to see a world-class nautical destination curated by a famous Italian designer, three luxury mega hotels, a golf course, a variety of restaurants and an international luxury retail offering called 'The Village', which will house 51 luxury retail outlets.

The images also show work underway at the mountain destination Trojena, the megacity's snowy district, which will be the first major outdoor ski destination in the GCC and will host the 2029 Asian Winter Games, the first West Asian nation to do so with the participation of more than 32 countries.

It also showed the progress made on Saudi Arabia's groundbreaking THE LINE project: a 170-kilometer-long city that will eventually house up to nine million people and will be the heart of NEOM.

The clip revealed updates on the launch of the NEOM Investment Fund with a focus on pioneering companies, next generation industries, joint venture development and partnerships, with multinationals and institutional investors.
