About Expo 2020 Dubai®

Expo 2020 Dubai will be the first World Expo held in the Middle East. With its central theme of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future and the subthemes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability, it is committed to convening the global community and inspiring people to collaborate towards creating a better future.

All over the world, people are dedicating effort and imagination to solving some of today’s most pressing challenges. Innovations are being created that five years ago would have been unimaginable.

Expo 2020 is guided by the belief that innovation and progress are the result of people and ideas combining in new ways. The theme of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future recognizes that the creation of solutions to global problems demands readiness to reach out across geographies, institutional boundaries, industry clusters, cultures and disciplines.

Over the course of six months from October 2020, Expo 2020 will bring together hundreds of countries, innovators, international organisations, companies, entrepreneurs, NGOs, universities and millions of people to celebrate human ingenuity.

Expo 2020 provides a one-of-a-kind global stage for showcasing and sharing novel solutions and demonstrating projects with the potential to transform the lives of people around the world.

Focus Areas for FundingThe focus areas for innovative solutions under each subtheme are deliberately kept broad to ensure maximum inclusion and to allow creative ideas from across the world to emerge.

Connecting Minds, Creating the Future is far more than a theme, it is a mandate, a promise that the UAE has made to the world. From every walk of life, and every corner of the globe, we are connected through our hope for a brighter future. In this world of shared destinies, our theme is a promise for partnership - partnership that will foster cross-national and cross-disciplinary cooperation and innovation.
