The World Expo is a global event that brings together nations from around the world to explore a chosen topic through engaging and immersive discoveries, showcasing progress made and prospects for the future. Held every five years, the World Expo explores technology, culture, design and ultimately human excellence. The world exhibition is organised by the Bureau International des Expositions, the company that leads, promotes and fosters the event. Founded in 1928, it oversees various Expo formats, from world exhibitions to specialised ones.
The first World Exhibition took place in 1851, in London’s Crystal Palace. Inventions from the Industrial Revolution were presented at the time and, from then on, it became a link between creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Connecting brilliant minds, the event creates the future in the present, reflecting, in each edition, the best that each host country has to offer.

Alongside the World Expo, the organisers also produce the Horticultural Expo, the next edition of which is taking place in 2023. After hosting the FIFA World Cup, Qatar is preparing for the Expo 2023 Doha. The topic that will mark this edition is Green Desert, Better Environment, aiming to inform and inspire people about possible innovative solutions that allow to mitigate and reduce desertification. The Expo will open its doors on October the 2nd 2023, at the Al Bidda Park, and will bid farewell on March the 28th in the following year. Qatar aims to attract the international community with 80 countries participating, as well as private and public sector organisations. Everything is being geared towards a multifaceted event, with extraordinary exhibitions, diplomatic meetings, business meetings, public meetings, as well as debates and live shows. Qatar expects more than three million people to come, and entry to the Exhibition Park will be free. The guests will be able to enjoy the international area, activities, entertainment, idyllic gardens and much more. The choice of an arid location to hold the Expo’s horticultural edition intends to awaken a deep and great legacy in the Arab country, looking at prominent sub-topics such as modern agriculture; technology and innovation, incorporating new techniques to enhance agricultural productivity and balance environmental sustainability; environmental awareness, by encouraging the protection of natural resources; and also sustainability, achieving the common goal of humanity in balancing its lifestyle, governmental and business practices, through the recognition and acceptance of environmental challenges.
