Naver has received official approval from Saudi Arabia's Digital Government Authority (DGA) for its cloud-based digital twin platform to become the nation's standard platform for local governments. This marks a significant milestone for the Korean tech giant, as it will now be able to expand its smart city technology across Saudi Arabia.
The approval allows Naver to establish a unified technology framework for urban planning, infrastructure management, public safety, and municipal operations.

Following the DGA's approval, the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has urged local governments to prioritize Naver's platform for smart city and digital twin projects.
This move aims to avoid duplicative investments and create unified technology standards and methodologies across the country, just three years after Naver secured its initial project in Saudi Arabia in 2023.
