From October 2021 to March 2022, the 2020 Dubai Universal Exposition will be themed “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”, based on three interwoven topics: mobility, sustainability and opportunity.
During this world event, the mission of the France’s Pavilion is to promote French heritage, with all its human, philosophical, artistic, cultural and entrepreneurial wealth, but also its science and technology.
With millions of visitors expected and 180 countries represented, Expo2020 Dubai will offer France a unique arena to showcase its vision of the ecological and inclusive transition.
A leader in the energy transition and flagship of French industrial excellence, ENGIE became in 2019 the first ambassador of France’s Pavilion, showcasing its solutions to transform energy use and its work towards more sustainable mobility.
On this occasion, Jean-Pierre Clamadieu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ENGIE emphasized how this partnership will embody ENGIE’s “Raison d’être” : “FromDay 1 we will partner with the France Pavilion and have developed together a vision and concrete programs that reconcile economic performance with a positive impact on people and the planet. We look forward to participating in Expo2020 and pursuing action with our entire ecosystem to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.”
