DP World unveils design for Expo 2020 pavilion

DUBAI, October 8, 2019

Global trade enabler DP World has unveiled the design of its new pavilion for the Expo 2020 mega show which kicks off in Dubai next year.

As the event's official Premier Global Trade Partner, the group's pavilion will be one of the largest at the Expo site.

According to DP World, the pavilion will be centered around the concept of 'Making Trade Flow', and is set to demonstrate how DP World enables trade across the world so people have the things they need when they need them.

It is being developed in line with Expo 2020's sub-themes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability, said the statement from the Dubai group.

Through the use of cutting-edge technologies including augmented and virtual reality, visitors will be able to see the real-time movement of cargo across the world, and learn how global trade happens and its impact on every aspect of everyone's life every day, it stated.

They will also be introduced to innovations including DP World Cargospeed, the transportation system powered by Hyperloop, and BoxBay, an automated high-rise stacking system for containers that is set to revolutionise global supply chains, it added.

The pavilion has been designed from the outset to transform into an education, innovation, and training hub for the global logistics industry once Expo 2020 ends. The legacy project is designed to inspire future generations to pursue careers in the industry, said the statement.

Group chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, said: "We have a vision to enable smarter trade for the benefit of everyone around the world through innovation and data-driven logistics."

"The pavilion will become a permanent feature of Expo 2020 Dubai's legacy at District 2020, reinforcing the emirate's reputation as a knowledge-based economy. It will benefit future generations for years to come long after the event has ended by introducing young minds to career opportunities in logistics and trade coupled with insights into their vital role in keeping the world moving," he added.

Expo 2020 Dubai executive director Najeeb Mohammed Al Ali said: "Staging the world's greatest show would not be possible without the help of our partners, and DP World, our Premier Global Trade Partner, is vital to the supply chain of Expo 2020."

"We are excited to see the company progress in its mission to enable the future of global trade and look forward to visiting the DP World Pavilion, where millions of visitors from around the world will be able to discover how opportunities in sustainable mobility will shape the world of tomorrow," he stated.

As part of its educational legacy, DP World will also be organising a series of engaging activities and global youth competitions to drive the conversation on the challenges and opportunities in the dynamic global trade industry, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
