From 1 October 2021 until 31 March 2022, around 200 countries, including Luxembourg, and international organisations will present their ideas at the World Exposition 2020 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Luxembourg is among those presenting their ideas and solutions relating to the exposition's chosen theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" at Expo 2020 Dubai. This will be the first World Exposition to take place in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, which consists of 72 countries and counts a combined population of 2.8 billion people.
The Luxembourg Government, via the Ministry of the Economy and the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works, joined forces with the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, POST and SES to implement Luxembourg's presence in Expo 2020 Dubai.
Under the theme of "Resourceful Luxembourg", the Luxembourg Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai will welcome visitors from around the world. Visitors will experience Luxembourg with their five senses. The focus will be on the country's resourcefulness, its innovative spirit and its commitment towards circularity. A range of reinvented national gastronomic specialties and cultural highlights are also on the agenda.
Designed by METAFORM Architects, the architecture of the Pavilion is based on the idea of the Möbius ribbon, an infinite form, symbolising the openness and the dynamism of the country. The scenography by JangledNerves showcases Luxembourg's resourcefulness based on five sections: diverse, connecting, sustainable, enterprising and beautiful.
The restaurant of the Luxembourg Pavilion, Schengen Lounge, is managed by Michelin-starred chef Kim Kevin de Dood in partnership with Jumeirah Group and École d'hôtellerie et de tourisme du Luxembourg.
As the first country to formalise its participation at Expo 2020 Dubai, Luxembourg has reinforced its commitment to its already long-lasting relationship with the UAE.
