What is Oxagon in Saudi Arabia?
Oxagon is a purpose-built industrial city located in the southwestern corner of NEOM, along the Red Sea coast. Designed in the shape of an octagon, it represents a radical departure from traditional industrial zones. Oxagon is envisioned as a smart, sustainable, and fully integrated industrial ecosystem, where advanced manufacturing, research, logistics, and urban living coexist.
More than a city, Oxagon is envisioned as a model for how future communities might integrate industry, innovation, and sustainable living.
Location of Oxagon
Oxagon is located on the Red Sea coast in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, near the Suez Canal shipping lanes—one of the world’s busiest trade routes. This strategic location gives Oxagon a unique advantage as a hub for international shipping and logistics.
A remarkable feature is that parts of Oxagon are planned to extend over the sea, creating one of the world’s largest semi-floating industrial developments.
What Makes Oxagon Unique?
Floating Industrial City: Oxagon will stretch across land and sea, with a massive floating platform designed for sustainable industry and port operations.
Smart and Sustainable Industry: Powered largely by renewable energy, Oxagon is planned as a hub for clean industries like hydrogen fuel, biotech, and smart manufacturing.
Global Trade Hub: Its port and logistics system will use artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced automation to connect global supply chains.
High-Tech Communities: Unlike traditional industrial zones, Oxagon will include residential neighborhoods, leisure areas, and cultural attractions.
Zero-Carbon Goals: True to NEOM’s mission, Oxagon aims to be 100% powered by clean energy and designed with environmental sustainability in mind.
Oxagon, Saudi Arabia, represents a bold vision for the future — an innovative industrial hub that blends technology, trade, and sustainability. As part of NEOM and Vision 2030, it’s poised to reshape global industry and urban life. Although still under development, Oxagon’s ambitious vision and ongoing progress make it one of Saudi Arabia’s most transformative projects.
