Naver has achieved a significant milestone by securing official approval for its cloud-based digital twin platform in Saudi Arabia, making it the country's national standard platform for local governments. This approval, granted by the Saudi Digital Government Authority (DGA) on Thursday, enables the tech giant to expand its smart city technology across the nation.
The platform is designed to facilitate urban planning, infrastructure management, public safety, and municipal operations, establishing a unified technology framework for these purposes.
