Today, the Expo is a unique platform for international dialogue about progress and cooperation.

EXPO 2020 in Dubai will take place between 1 October 2021 and 30 March 2022, and will be the first World Exhibition staged in an Arab country.

The theme of the exhibition is: Connecting Minds, Creating the Future, highlighting that today’s global challenges are so complex and intricate that they cannot be solved in isolation. The theme encourages cooperation - regardless of geographical distance, institutional barriers and cultural differences.

EXPO 2020 in Dubai is intended to be an inclusive exhibition. Its organizers strived to invite as many countries as possible and to attract the largest number of foreign visitors in the history of EXPO (70% of all visitors).
