As Dubai prepares to host the World Expo in 2020, the economy continues to flourish and entrepreneurship is increasingly prominent in the region.
Dubai is expecting to draw around 25 million visitors during the 6-month period and the Expo will promote the city’s status as a truly global city with world-class infrastructure and a hub for global business.
After looking at past shows, a successful Expo can have a major impact on the host city’s economy.
The Expo has the ability to showcase a nation’s strengths and talents on a global scale. A prime example of this is the Shanghai Expo held in 2010. The theme was Better City, Better Life and a staggering 73 million people attended the exhibition. It promoted Shanghai as a thriving, global city. The event not only highlighted China’s economic success but also encouraged new and long-lasting infrastructure developments that continue to benefit the nation today.
