According to the organisers of Expo 2020 Dubai more than 70% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. The challenges of governing the cities were addressed at the Dubai World Expo in the “Urban & Rural Development” theme week (from 31 October to 6 November 2021). Polish Investment and Trade Agency, which is responsible for Poland’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai, is promoting the country’s own smart city solutions. A key event in the comprehensive economic programme was the seminar “Smart cities – solutions of the future”.

From 19 to 30 October, the Poland Pavilion will host the Polish Space Agency – its exhibition will be presented in the temporary exhibition zone alongside a number of other diplomatic, political, business, and scientific events. The Polish Space Agency will also join the International Astronautical Congress in Dubai. The Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) is responsible for the entire organisational process behind Poland’s participation in Expo 2020.

The space industry is a relatively new and rapidly developing sector of the Polish economy, and it is gaining importance every year. It is already innovative and finds technological applications in science, databases, software, communication and navigation, materials engineering, mechanics, robotics and electronics. The presentation of the potential of the Polish space industry in Dubai is part of the comprehensive Economic Programme prepared by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency for Expo 2020 – 2,500 Polish companies will benefit from it in various forms.

The fact that Polish nature is unique is proven not only by beautiful landscapes but also by numbers. The oldest tree in our country, namely the common yew from Henryków Lubański, is around 1,300 years old. Then, the largest terminal moraine, Łuk Mużakowa (Muskau Bend), is about 40 km long and it looks like a horseshoe. Polish nature is surprising and offers something amazing at almost every turn. It is a valuable source of inspiration, and nature-inspired elements can be found in economy, art, and culture. You can see how these inspirations turn into creative solutions at Expo 2020 in Dubai.

The World Exhibition Expo 2020 in Dubai opened today. Poland’s ultimate objective is to promote domestic economy and business, yet the event also offers a great opportunity to present the country’s tourist potential and its culture and art. For the next 6 months, Poland will organize nearly 1,000 events and up to 2,500 Polish companies are expected to benefit from the economic program. Due to the COVID-19 pandemics, Expo 2020 in Dubai was opened a year later than originally planned. It is the first time ever that the World Exhibitions is being hosted by an Arab country. The Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) is responsible for coordinating Poland’s participation in the event.

The conference FUELLED BY NATURE organized by the Ministry of Climate and Environment of the Republic of Poland will take place on October 3, 2021 at the Poland Pavilion, Expo 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Poland and the whole world are facing important challenges in terms of changing the ways of production and consumption. The COVID- 19 pandemic caused a decline in economic activity. Increasing productivity is therefore necessary and must go hand in hand with reducing the negative impact of our activities on the environment. The concepts of an innovative economy based on green technologies, sustainability, increased mobility and renewable energy will be one of the main themes of Expo 2020 in Dubai and a remedy to the global recession. The Polish Investment and Trade Agency, which is responsible for Poland’s participation in the World Expo, will showcase our country’s export potential and present it as an attractive destination for green investing.

Expo 2020 in Dubai starts in just two weeks. Postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Exhibition will be a unique opportunity to promote our country’s economy on the international arena.

For 170 years, World Expos have been the venue for the most important international events and the driving force behind the economic development of countries. Poland has enjoyed glorious moments in the history of World Expositions, with numerous successes and achievements of our companies. At Expo 2020 Dubai, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency will present, on behalf of Poland, such a broad and comprehensive programme for entrepreneurs for the first time in history.

Participants in the World Expo can admire the achievements of Polish creators of applied arts in the Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 from 11 to 30 November 2021. During the temporary exhibition, Poland brings back more than 100 years of history of Polish design and presents contemporary achievements in this field. The organiser of the “On The Strength of Polish Design” exhibition is the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland.

The “Polish Table” installation will be one of the most spectacular elements of the exhibition in the Poland Pavilion at World Exhibition Expo 2020 Dubai. From October 1, it will become a place of multicultural meetings and welcoming the guests of the Pavilion, and at the same time, through an interactive, light projection, a place of contact with the Polish language. The „Polish Table” installation is a unique work of art, created from the raw materials characteristic of our country, such as copper, glass, wood, aluminium, ceramics and yacht-building steel, with the joint effort of Polish craftsmen, artists and engineers.

The business seminars are a new initiative forming part of the Economic Programme for Expo 2020 Dubai which will allow foreign investors to familiarise themselves with services, technologies and products developed by Polish entrepreneurs. The main objective of the seminars will be to establish business contacts and to present Polish experiences and potential in four areas – green technologies, space and aviation industry, smart cities, medical and pharmaceutical industry. We invite you to register your interest in participating in the events.
