Global Milestones at Expo Dubai

Expo 2020 Dubai marks several firsts as the first World Expo to be held in the MEASA area in the event's 170-year history. It would have been the first worldwide event since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Another novelty would be that each participating country can have its own pavilion. Countries would be grouped not by geography, but by the three subthemes of Expo 2020: Opportunity, Mobility, and Sustainability - issues deemed critical to establishing a brighter future for mankind. More than 200 governments, multilateral organizations, corporations, and educational institutions shall collaborate to provide creative solutions to the world's most urgent issues. Expo 2020 Dubai is the most open and worldwide World Expo ever organized, kudos to the diversity of participating nations and organizations.

The UAE would host the major event with strict COVID-19 preventative measures and a healthy environment, with almost 90% of the population immunized against COVID-19, placing the country in the top five nations in vaccine distribution ratio.

Bringing Minds Together, Creating the Future

Expo 2020 Dubai shall take place between October 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022, with the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future." The major event brings added relevance in the aftermath of the COVID-19 epidemic, as the need for cooperation and information sharing will never be more essential to propel change and create real answers to current social issues. It will galvanize the entire community around the idea that genuine human success derives from a partnership.

Expo 2020 Dubai is done in conjunction with the UAE's Golden Jubilee, providing a perfect chance to share the UAE's tremendous experience and inspirational stories with the rest of the world.
