Oxagon is a revolutionary component of the NEOM project in northwestern Saudi Arabia, redefining the concept of a modern industrial city. Located on the Red Sea, Oxagon is distinguished by its unique octagonal shape, with a significant portion of the city designed as a floating structure on the water. The city is intended to become the world's largest floating structure, serving as a hub for advanced manufacturing, logistics, and clean energy. A fully automated port and an integrated logistics hub will connect the city to global trade routes via the Suez Canal. Oxagon will operate on 100% renewable energy and employ cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics in production. The goal is to create a new type of industrial ecosystem where living, working, and innovation seamlessly intertwine. The project is a cornerstone of the Saudi Vision 2030 and aims to pioneer a sustainable industrial future for the world.
