Description
In November 2013, the United Arab Emirates won the right to host the World Expo in Dubai in 2020. This will mark the first occasion in which the World Expo is hosted in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA).
Since the first Great Fair of 1851, World Expos have continued to be one of the largest and oldest mega-events. Lasting six months, World Expos attract millions of visitors who explore and discover pavilions, exhibits and cultural events staged by hundreds of participants including nations, international organisations and businesses.
Dubai’s World Expo is held under the theme of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future, echoing the powerful spirit of partnership and co-operation that has driven the UAE’s success in pioneering new paths of development and innovation. Through this theme, Dubai Expo 2020 will serve as a catalyst, connecting minds from around the world and inspiring participants to mobilise themselves around shared challenges, during a World Expo of unprecedented global scope, under the sub-themes of: Mobility, Sustainability & Opportunity.
Dubai Expo 2020 is expected to attract 25 million visitors, 70% of which will be from overseas. This will be the first Expo in which the majority of visitors stem from beyond the Nation’s borders. Running from 20 October 2020 through 10 April 2021, the Expo will launch the country’s Golden Jubilee celebration and serve as a springboard from which to inaugurate a progressive and sustainable vision for the coming decades.
