The Department for International Trade (DIT) is looking for sponsors and partners to help deliver the UK Pavilion at World Expo 2020 Dubai. This major event will run from 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021.
DIT explains: “Working with us to establish a presence at the largest business, economic and cultural event in the world will give you a global platform to gain significant commercial exposure and help the UK create a truly spectacular presence at the Expo.”
The theme of Expo 2020 Dubai is Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.
According to DIT, it signals the global need to work together to inspire future generations and to develop partnerships across sectors, organisations and geographies to address the many needs of a fast-changing world.
The UK’s theme for the Expo is “The UK – innovating for a shared future”. It will have a self-build pavilion located in the Opportunity district of the Dubai site. The three sub-themes of the Expo are opportunity, mobility and sustainability.
Aiming to drive significant trade and inward investment for the UK, DIT will use the Expo to highlight a number of key sectors, including infrastructure and finance, technology, healthcare, consumer goods, catering and food and drink.
Any company wanting to register an expression of interest, in either cash or value in kind sponsorship, should contact the Sponsorship and Partnerships team at DIT by 31 July 2018.
Contacts include Fay Wiltshire ([email protected]) and Rebekah O’Connor ([email protected]).
