Expo is a global destination for millions of people to share ideas, showcase innovation, encourage collaboration and celebrate human ingenuity. It is organized every five years and lasts for six months. The first World Expo was held in 1851 at London’s Crystal Palace and was known as The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations. It displayed about 10,000 objects showcasing the inventions from the industrial revolution.

... to vote. Dubai won by a resounding majority with 116 votes, leaving Yekaterinburg, Russia, with only 47. Fireworks filled the sky in Dubai as they exploded out of the Burj Khalifa in front of thousands of smiling faces below when the victory was announced.

UAE selected the theme “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”, with the sub-themes Sustainability, Mobility, and Opportunity for the Expo 2020. A ring found at a 4,000-years-old archaeological site in the desert in the Al Marmum area of Dubai was the inspiration behind the logo of Dubai expo 2020.

They were and will always be a pot that gathers civilizations and a Centre for innovation.

Al Wasl Plaza will be the heart of Expo 2020. There will be a pavilion for each of the main themes – sustainability, mobility, and opportunity. Each participating country will have its own pavilion.
