Saudi Arabia‘s Neom has launched a new sustainable food company called Topian that represents the future of food.
Per a press release, Topian aims to redefine food production, distribution and consumption through sustainable and innovative solutions. These include climate-proof agriculture, regenerative aquaculture, novel foods, personalised nutrition, sustainable food supply and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).
Nadhmi Al-Nasr, CEO of Neom, said the new food company “reflects our dedication to creating a positive, long-lasting transformation to lives in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world”.
“Topian’s innovative approach will be a key driver in shaping the future landscape of a sustainable and secure food industry.
“We look forward to working closely with investors, partners, and food industry experts in turning ambitious ideas into reality, supporting economic diversification in the kingdom and aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.”
Topian will revolutionise the current food system across the world and respond to challenges such as rapid population growth, changing consumption patterns, climate change, and the depletion of the world’s natural resources.
“We are not only committing to shaping a transformative global food system, but also to setting a global benchmark by pioneering new technologies and innovative solutions to overcome food-related challenges and create a more secure, sustainable, and prosperous future for all,” said Juan Carlos Motamayor, CEO of Topian.

Topian has signed a series of local and international partnership agreements with organisations including King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, the University of Tabuk, Tabuk Fish Company, BlueNalu, Van der Hoeven Horticultural Projects, and Cargill.
Neom, northwest Saudi Arabia’s $500 billion sustainable development, recently unveiled another new tourism destination named Siranna.
Neom’s Siranna announcement comes after the launch of Leyja and Epicon, two more sustainable tourism destinations in the Gulf of Aqaba.
Neom is also home to a luxury island called Sindalah, a zero-carbon city with “vertically layered” buildings named The Line, the Oxagon floating port city, and the Trojena ski resort.
