KAEC – Smart City

For years, the concept of a Smart City has been heralded as the beacon of future urban living. Yet, defining what constitutes a smart city—what it should encompass and how it should operate—remains a subject of ongoing debate among government officials, citizens, and industry players.

At TRC, we’ve carved our own path in this conversation, guided by a principle we hold dear:

“The definition of a Smart City should be dictated by the demands of its citizens.”.

Our vision, City as a Service, is crafted around this very ethos. We’re pioneering a modular, LEGO-like platform that embodies the true spirit of plug-and-play and drag-and-drop functionalities. This innovation empowers both citizens and government authorities to custom-build their smart city solutions tailored to their unique needs and challenges.

In a landmark move towards realizing this vision, we’ve embarked on a collaboration with hopOn Mobility, sealing a 10-year pact with King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) to pilot our ambitious project. Our goal is to fully deploy our platform within the next 3-5 years, aligning KAEC with the progressive Saudi 2030 Vision.

Central to our mission is the conviction that smart city solutions must be accessible to all, scalable to meet diverse urban challenges, and sustainable to support long-term environmental stewardship. As we look to the future, TRC is energized by the opportunity to bring our smart city innovations to municipalities far beyond KAEC. We’re committed to a vision where cities across the globe can harness our holistic approach to urban management, propelling forward strides towards a future that’s sustainable, efficient, and interconnected.

We invite you to join us on this groundbreaking journey as we continue to explore the limits of smart city innovation. With TRC and hopOn Mobility steering the course, we’re charting a course towards a future where urban living is not just smart, but also sustainable, inclusive, and attuned to the needs of every community.

Together, let’s shape the cities of tomorrow, today.
