The  pavilion interspersed with films that present Singapore through its people, heritage and stories, the Singapore Pavilion welcomed the world as Expo 2020 Dubai opened its doors to the world on Friday.

Visitors will go on an experiential journey through the lushly-landscaped spaces that epitomise Singapore’s vision of becoming a City in Nature, which will come alive with a line-up of multimedia exhibits and engaging programmes that people from all walks of life can enjoy.

With an exclusive media preview on Tuesday, Larry Ng, Commissioner-General of the Singapore Pavilion, explains, “The realisation of the Singapore Pavilion is important for Singapore, as it provides us with the platform to connect with people from around the world and engage in important future-shaping conversations. As visitors experience the Pavilion through its welcoming spaces, digital exhibits and programmes, we hope that they will gain new perspectives on how nature and technology can be integrated into our urban spaces, and see the possibilities of how our cities can be designed to be sustainable, liveable and resilient.”

He further mentioned that “Singapore, as a global hub, will continue to remain connected with the world. The Pavilion signals our readiness to lead and participate in conversations, as well as to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas between our people, innovators and businesses.  We look forward to welcoming the world into our Pavilion, and igniting ideas through greater collaborations between our nations to overcome the global challenges of today.”

Beyond the green architecture of the Pavilion with over 80,000 plant of over thousands of varieties this guiding ethos of sustainable development is also distilled into multimedia showcases.

Led by Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority in partnership with many other agencies and industry partners, the Singapore Pavilion opened its doors to the public on Friday.

The Pavilion experience will also be made accessible to Singaporeans and international audiences virtually and allow those who are unable to travel to participate in selected festivities through a curated experience accessible throughout the Expo duration.
