An oasis of innovation , Expo 2020 Dubai , is destined to leave a sustainable footprint in the desert sand in the form of the world ’ s most digitally connected smart community .
As the curtain rises on Expo 2020 , the glistening dome atop the Al Wasl Plaza , with its 360-degree projection system , looks set to rival the Eiffel Tower – built for the 1889 World Expo in Paris – as one of the landmarks to emerge from the 182-day exposition that is poised to showcase international innovation at its best .
“ One of the greatest shows on Earth and a model for the future of connected communities ,” is how Mohammed Alhashmi , Chief Technology Officer , Expo 2020 Dubai , describes this oasis of innovation that awaits the millions of visitors expected to pass through the carbon fibre entry portals to the site .
“ We are going to have plenty of innovative surprises ,” said Alhashmi . “ During the next six months visitors will come together under the theme of ‘ Connecting Minds , Creating the Future ’ and will have the opportunity to experience a multitude of innovations , from robots powered by artificial intelligence to insights into the UAE ’ s Hope Probe Mission to Mars .”
Expo 2020 is being held in the Middle East for the first time . While it was originally planned to open in October 2020 , Alhashmi points out that opening one year later than planned due to the pandemic , has allowed his team to create the most digitally connected event in Expo history .
