NEOM announced its plan to establish a sector for education, research and innovation, which takes into account the highest international standards adopted, and contribute to the realization of NEOM's vision, and meet the needs of its various sectors.

The education, research and innovation sector focuses on four interrelated tracks, namely: NEOM University, the education, research and Innovation Foundation, the talent academy, and public education from early childhood to the twelfth grade, where the sector will provide a system with global standards of education, research and innovation, suitable for all learners of different age groups.

The talent academy will also support continuous professional development through continuing education programs designed in collaboration with all sectors of NEOM.
