It has also partnered with Green Marine to strengthen its decarbonization offerings for the marine industry.
The company collaborates with Green Marine, a voluntary environmental certification program for the North American marine industry, in addition to other reliable partners. Through this membership, TraceSafe will reach out to the Green Marine network, which includes over 40 ship owners, and highlight how its services can help them improve their environmental performance and, as a result, achieve their environmental and carbon-neutrality goals. In order to develop and provide cutting-edge technological solutions to clients throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the company announced in August 2022 its partnership with a publicly traded technology giant from Saudi Arabia. The two businesses are now collaborating to provide one of the world’s most ambitious luxury regenerative tourism destinations with a full suite of Smart City infrastructure that aims to set new standards in sustainability.
“It is an honor to finally kick off this historic engagement with our partners at solutions by STC. We are grateful to have been selected to participate in such a massive undertaking that aims to set new standards in sustainable development and further strengthen the position of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the global tourism map. We are thrilled to have our vision for smart cities embraced by the most valuable telecom brand in the Middle East,” said Wayne Lloyd, CEO of ShiftCarbon
$5M revenue deal
According to studies, Saudi Arabia’s market for smart cities is predicted to grow at a 19.6% CAGR from 2020 to 2027, reaching US$14 billion.

With a commitment to invest US$150 billion in regional real estate projects, Saudi Vision 2030, a plan to develop the economy, is closely aligned with creating sustainable tourism destinations. By implementing this project, the Kingdom hopes to protect, improve, and, by 2040, generate a net increase in conservation value. With the highest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating for environmentally responsible urban design, the Green Finance accredited facility is designed to run entirely on renewable energy.
The first phase of revenue from this project is anticipated to be $5 million, with the potential for additional income in the form of a long-term supply of goods as the smart city becomes operational.
