What started as a dream to connect minds and create the future became one of the largest, most groundbreaking extraordinary cultural events in the history of humanity. On November 27, 2013, Dubai was awarded as the host city for the World Expo in 2020, bringing the world's greatest show to the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region for the very first time A space in the middle of the desert that was home to no more than sand. And one lone gaffe tree was transformed into a hub for the world And for the very first time in the history of Expo. Every single one of the worlds 192 countries were invited to parties debate and be represented Some pushed the boundaries of architecture and design. Others shared their stories and culture. And everyone had a place at Expo 2020, Dubai. Our plans were put on hold, and the whole world took shelter from COVID19. But we all returned to complete our mission and welcome the world. Today we come together as one to celebrate you. Your efforts your culture. Your stories. Your country. Because without you, there could never have been an Expo, T20, Dubai.
