The future is now!
The world exhibition, also known as Exposition Universal International, Expo or World’s Fair, is an international exhibition that was able to establish itself as a technical and craft exhibition during the period of industrialization.
World fairs are often characterized by interesting architecture, which tries to express the characteristics of the respective country. The original concept aimed primarily at the presentation of industrial and commercial capabilities and the demonstration of new technical developments. The fact that the world is in a constant state of flux has led to a shift in the focus of the subjects of the exhibitions supervised by the BIE to more fundamental subjects that concern all of humanity. A general thematic focus was set in 1972 through a decision by the BIE to emphasize education as the goal of the world exhibitions. In 1994 it was stated that world exhibitions should address the pressing problems of the present. The next Expo will take place in Dubai in 2020 on the topic of “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Expo 2020 is to take place from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, which will cover 483 hectares in 3 districts:
Sustainability: You will see some of the world’s most advanced technologies in action, what countries are doing to promote sustainability, and experience how the human race can enjoy life in harmony with nature in a high-tech future.
Mobility: We live in a world of unlimited connections. Explore horizons that drive human progress, as mobility continues to transform the way we live, connect with people, understand different cultures, and exchange knowledge and ideas in a more intelligent and productive way.
Opportunity: there is a ripple effect in everything we do. Even one person can hold the key to unlocking eight billion opportunities that can help individuals and communities create a better tomorrow today. It is time to release your inner potential and be an agent of change!
