Ukraine has unveiled its Expo 2020 Dubai pavilion, which has three zones focusing on smart life; smart thinking and smart feeling.

Located in the Opportunity District, the pavilion will showcase the nation’s thriving technology sector, with inventions such as an e-bike that can travel 380 km on a single charge, a 3D printer for ceramics and solar blinds that generate energy.

Ukraine is incorporating the three Expo 2020 Dubai subthemes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability into its journey – with a focus on improving living standards, using resources efficiently.

According to sources, nature lovers will be impressed by the abundant nature found inside the pavilion, with picturesque flora helping to create a restful ambiance.

Another European country, Spain, has unveiled the design for its pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai which puts a focus on efficiency, energy saving and resource management.

The pavilion will not simply be an efficient building, it will be constructed with sustainable materials, said senior Spanish officials.

Located in Expo 2020’s Sustainability District, the exhibition area is designed to be a basement which will make use of the thermal and acoustic insulation provided by underground spaces.

Both the open public spaces and the exhibition area will be connected via a large space where waiting will become part of the entertainment, they added.

Meanwhile, leading global energy and services group Engie will be the first ambassador of France’s Pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai, showcasing its solutions for transforming energy use and its work towards more sustainable mobility.

During this World Expo, France’s pavilion aims to promote French heritage.

Engie said throughout the 24 weeks, it will present the many technological innovations for sustainable cities and connected territories. With digital as a driver, these solutions are revolutionising energy use, and working towards cleaner, connected, autonomous and shared mobility, it added.
