The EXPO 2020! This global event is of tremendous significance and will bring together the best of science and technology from all over the world. In case you didn’t know but EXPO was supposed to be held last year but due to the COVID-19 pandemic Expo was postponed for this year, however, organizers decided to keep the original name as they invested a lot in the marketing and branding of the event.
The forefront of evolution and innovation
Dubai is the host of Expo 2020, and this event is taking place from October 2021 until March 2022. The Expo is designed to showcase how new technologies can be used to improve lives and create economic opportunities for all.
Dubai has always been at the forefront of evolution and innovation, leading the way in creative industries, smart solutions, and new technologies. EXPO 2020 Dubai will offer a stage for showcasing these advances to an international audience of millions.
The expo debuts in a new neighborhood also reachable with a new direct metro line which was specifically built for this event. This years’ expo provides a glimpse into how we might live and work in 10 years’ time, as well as showcasing technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
Expanding on this idea of future cities, innovative ideas such as autonomous vehicles could be showcased. This may include self-driving buses or autonomous taxis that people could use to move around the city.
There are three major pavilions. The Opportunity Pavilion is designed by AGi Architects, the Mobility by Foster and Partners, and Sustainability by Grimshaw Architects. There are many exhibits to explore including interactive ones showcasing the future for consumers and business leaders alike.

The beauty of cultural connection
We are so happy that our start-up is following the example of the development of this city and the country itself. Their support towards technological improvements is a push to make changes and make the world a better place.
For this Expo, we agreed on a partnership with a Sudanese travel agency AlThana as “Shabaqo” is originally a name of a well-known Nubian King (today Sudan and Egypt). We believe in the beauty of connecting culturally, and both sides are excited to show you the work we have done together. Stay tuned as we will talk about it very soon!
