FAQ

  • We are looking for long-term partners with the appetite to innovate or invest in ideas and businesses at scale. These partnerships should contribute to NEOM's mission to redefine business, livability and conservation. 

  • NIF's strategic investments position NEOM as a visionary hub for global innovation. As part of its mandate, NIF will be assuming the role of portfolio manager for NEOM’s sector assets and subsidiary companies, steering growth of NEOM's sector companies towards tomorrow's world. We will de-risk investments that unlock the inflow of capital to accelerate the change, ensuring a legacy for current and future generations.

  • NIF was created to be the strategic investment arm of NEOM in the short term, and the wealth preserver of NEOM over the long term. NIF will be the steward of NEOM’s sector companies, with focus on making strategic investments with sound commercial foundations, but that will simultaneously have outsized contributions towards realizing NEOM’s ambitions and driving long-term financial sustainability for the project.

  • NIF will drive job creation within NEOM by investing in large anchor businesses and establishing joint ventures that profoundly impact its value chain, coupled with high-skilled talent acquisition. NIF's investments are fostering considerable growth and having a direct socioeconomic impact on NEOM and Saudi Arabia.
