The following report is from Smart Cities World:
A floating industrial complex is being established as the next stage of the masterplanned region, Neom, in Saudi Arabia.
Called Oxagon, the hub aims to redefine industrial centres by adopting advanced technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), human-machine fusion, artificial and predictive intelligence, and robotics.
These will be coupled with a network of fully automated distribution centres and autonomous last-mile delivery assets to drive Neom’s ambitions of creating a seamless integrated, intelligent and efficient supply chain.
Seven Sectors
Oxagon will focus on seven sectors: sustainable energy; autonomous mobility; water innovation; sustainable food production; health and wellbeing; technology and digital manufacturing (including telecommunications, space technology and robotics); and modern methods of construction; all powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.
It aligns with the same philosophy and principles of The Line smart city, announced earlier this year, offering “exceptional” livability in harmony with nature. Communities will be walkable, or transport provided via hydrogen-powered mobility. Sustainable industry will be built around the communities, minimising commute time. Also in common with The Line, it aims to be a “cognitive city”.
Announcing the plans, Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi’s crown prince and chairman of the Neom company board of directors, Neom, said Oxagon will be the catalyst for economic growth and diversity in Neom and the Kingdom, further meeting its Vision 2030 ambitions.
Oxagon will contribute to redefining the world’s approach to industrial development in the future, protecting the environment while creating jobs and growth for Neom. It will contribute to Saudi Arabia’s regional trade and commerce, and support creating a new focal point for global trade flows. I am pleased to see that business and development have started on the ground and we look forward to the city’s rapid expansion.
Comprising a large area in the southwest corner of Neom, the core urban environment is centred around the integrated port and logistics hub that will house the majority of the city’s anticipated residents.
The octagonal design is intended to minimise impact on the environment and provides optimal land usage, with the remainder open to preserve 95 percent of the natural environment. A defining feature of the city is the world’s largest floating structure, which will become a centre for Neom’s Blue economy and achieve sustainable growth.
Located on the Red Sea close to the Suez Canal, through which approximately 13 percent of the globe’s trade passes, Oxagon is also being established as one of the world’s most technologically advanced logistics hubs with integrated port and airport connectivity.
The port, logistics and rail delivery facility will be unified and aims to provide world-class productivity levels with net-zero carbon emissions and set global benchmarks in the adoption of technology and environmental sustainability.
The agile and integrated physical and digital supply chain and logistics system will allow for real-time planning, which Neom claims will result in secure on-time delivery, efficiency and cost-effectiveness for industry partners.
Oxagon sets out to create a circular economy with a collaborative environment built around research and innovation Its innovation campus will host the Education, Research and Innovation (ERI) ecosystem.
Development of Oxagon is well underway and designs are in progress for the large manufacturing facilities. These facilities include the world’s largest green hydrogen project involving Air Products, ACWA Power and Neom in a tri-partite venture; the world’s largest and most advanced modular building construction factory with Gulf Modular International; and the largest hyperscale data centre in the region, a joint venture between Fas Energy and Neom.
It aims to welcome its first manufacturing tenants at the beginning of 2022.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Though not mentioned here, remember the Suez Canal debacle earlier this year – another staged event to cripple the world supply chains, which not a single nation investigated what happened in the wake of that. It’s all deliberate.
But you see, now these mega-wealthy Muslims (who are also controlled opposition and pawns) can then take advantage of the situation, and install new smart cities.
As I have noted in other reports, the power shift is going Eastward, as can be seen in Ezekiel 38-39; as the West kills itself.
Also, do you find it curious that Egypt just built an octagon-shaped military base, and now their neighbors are building an octagon smart city?

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
Fantastic beat ! I wish to apprentice at the same time as you amend your website, how could i subscribe for a weblog website? The account aided me a applicable deal. I were a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered vivid clear concept
