As part of government’s efforts to revive the economy, find sustainable ways to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and create opportunities for inclusive growth, South Africa will participate in the EXPO2020 Dubai.
“South Africa will showcase its value proposition at the South African pavilion, situated at the Opportunity District, and promote innovative technologies, creative arts, tourism, sports and its unique cultural diversity,” the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) said on Thursday.
The expo is taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Team South Africa would place emphasis on agriculture and global business services, and the mining, manufacturing and advanced manufacturing sectors - all key creators of jobs that fuel economic growth, said GCIS.
“The aim is to give investors and visitors a true experience of what South Africa offers through virtual exhibitions that will enable visitors to engage with companies in virtual discussions. The drive is to turn the conversation about South Africa’s story into potential business opportunities.”
The expo will be held under the theme: "Connecting Minds and Creating the Future via Sustainability, Mobility, and Opportunity".
