Emaar, The Economic City, the master-developer of King Abdullah Economic City
(KAEC), has entered into a strategic partnership with hopOn, a fast-growing
smart city solutions provider for public and shared transportation.

This partnership marks a significant step towards enhancing sustainable mobility
solutions - including providing smart transport and smart parking - with a focus on
sustainability and carbon neutrality in line with Saudi Vision 2030, within the KAEC
community.

The official agreement was signed last week in Riyadh by Cyril Piaia, CEO of Emaar,
The Economic City, and Jamil Naji Jamjoom, Co-Founder and CEO of hopOn, in the
presence of Mansour Al-Salem, Managing Director of Emaar, the Economic City
alongside other key representatives, at the two-days Public Investment Fund (PIF)
Private Sector Forum.

Under the agreement, KEAC will leverage hopOn’s expertise in mobility solutions to
create a seamless and efficient transportation network within the city, catering to the
diverse needs of its residents and visitors.

This includes facilitating last-mile mobility from the Haramain train station to key districts
and destinations in the city, implementing various bus routes, and providing on-demand
busses, e-shutters, and vans, along with options for two-wheel scooters, three-wheel
scooters, mechanical bikes, and electric bikes.
