Oxagon is a planned industrial and port city that forms part of NEOM, Saudi Arabia's futuristic Red Sea megaproject, designed to serve as a manufacturing, logistics, and research hub positioned along the Red Sea coast.

Unlike NEOM's more residential or tourism-focused components, Oxagon is explicitly designed around advanced manufacturing and supply chain logistics, aiming to attract industries focused on clean technology, robotics, and sustainable production methods.

Why Part of It Is Designed to Float

A distinctive planned feature of Oxagon is a floating industrial complex, intended to be among the largest floating structures ever built, designed to house port operations and manufacturing facilities directly on the water rather than solely on reclaimed or natural coastline.

Oxagon is positioned to take advantage of its location near major global shipping lanes through the Red Sea, aiming to function as a logistics and trade hub connecting Asian, African, and European markets as part of Saudi Arabia's broader Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy.
