Opportunity to display your products at Expo Dubai 2020
Vanuatu has been invited to be a part of Expo 2020 Dubai and will have a pavilion representing Vanuatu.
Expo 2020 Dubai will run for the 173 days. Participants are encouraged to leverage these opportunities to create commercial activities that enhance a positive visitor experience in their pavilion and across the Expo site.
Expo’s World Market Initiative
The World Market initiative will allow participants an additional retail opportunity for products that are in line with the initiative. This is a great opportunity for participants to showcase their talents, culture and resources on a global platform and increase engagement with their visitors. It will also allow participants to highlight their innovativeness and design capabilities, providing visitors with a tangible object to take home as a ‘connection’ with a country pavilion, a memory of their experience, or a gift to share passing on the core messages of the pavilion to a much wider audience.
The World Market focuses on several families of craft that intertwine with the local craft materials and processes in the UAE. Such materials can be used but are not limited to natural fibers, clay, embroidery, textile and metals.
Additional product types include, but are not limited to:
- Body care/soap and aromatherapy products
- Photography
- Food and beverage items (non-alcoholic)* that do not require preparation and are non-perishable will be permitted, pending approval by Dubai Municipality**
Please note: Alcoholic food and beverage items are not permitted for sale in the kiosks
