New Zealand will participate in Expo 2020, hosted by Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from October 2020 to April 2021. World Expos are international celebrations of commerce, culture and industry where participating nations showcase their economic and trade capabilities and advance their global reputation. Expo 2020 Dubai will bring together 180 nations and 25 million international visitors. Over six months, the event will inspire collaboration on global challenges and opportunities. New Zealand’s theme for Expo 2020 is 'Care for People and Place'. The Pavilion, located in the Sustainability District, will promote New Zealand as a country to trade and partner with, invest in, study and visit. For New Zealand companies, Expo 2020 is a unique high-profile opportunity to align with the Pavilion’s story, reach a global audience and make a lasting mark in a highly dynamic region.
