In a landmark development, Genesys International Corporation’s subsidiary in Saudi Arabia, Genesys Middle East Ltd., has been granted a prestigious contract by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the 3D Digital Twin mapping of the Holy City of Mecca. This ambitious project, valued at Rs. 26 crores in its current phase, is a historic foray into digital twin technology for urban planning, modeling, and monitoring.
