Riyadh, June 26 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Diriyah Company has been named one of the 100 most influential companies in the world by Time Magazine, becoming the second Saudi company to receive the recognition after Aramco was listed in 2024, the company announced on Wednesday.

The TIME100 list, curated annually by Time editors and reporters, highlights companies across the globe that are driving transformational change through innovation, leadership, and societal impact.

Diriyah Company was recognized for its ongoing work on the $63.2 billion “City of Earth” project, a major cultural and urban development located on the outskirts of Riyadh. The company is leading efforts to restore and develop Diriyah as a global cultural and heritage destination, aligning with the Kingdom’s broader Vision 2030 goals.

“This is a powerful affirmation of Diriyah’s mission to lead with purpose—by honoring our heritage, uplifting our community, and embracing world-class sustainability and hospitality standards,” said Group CEO Jerry Inzerillo in a statement.

He added that the project’s guiding principles include carbon-free construction, energy efficiency, water conservation, and human-centric development, emphasizing that Diriyah will be home to nearly 100,000 residents and feature assets such as the Royal Diriyah Opera House, the historic Wadi Hanifah, and luxury cultural experiences.

Time Magazine’s recognition places Diriyah Company alongside global firms and high-growth innovators shaping the future of urban development, sustainability, and cultural preservation.
