The company’s proven track record of delivering infrastructure aligned with Vision 2030, reinforces its ability to lead technically advanced programs and contribute significantly to the Kingdom’s evolving public transport landscape.
Nesma & Partners’ diversification strategy into railways capitalizes on a robust Saudi market with substantial growth potential, aligning with its ambition to become a future leader in railway and transit construction across the Kingdom.
This milestone further underscores Nesma & Partners’ commitment to transforming national priorities into tangible outcomes, advancing local talent, fostering innovation, and generating lasting economic and social value throughout Saudi Arabia.
