Circular climate control  

The winning bid will give the Netherlands a Pavilion that stands out when it

comes to circulation and the use of innovative, sustainable technologies. The

Pavilion is to feature a circular climate control system, seamlessly

integrating it with the Netherlands' chosen theme: "Uniting water, energy &

food." Visitors from both the private and business spheres will be treated to

an intense sensory experience of natural phenomena, while the overall

architectural appearance is to be a statement in the Dubai surroundings. In

addition to designing and constructing the pavilion, the consortium will also

be responsible for circular maintenance and dismantling. The design will be

presented in December 2018.

Consortium

The consortium brings together the necessary expertise for the project, with

experience in pavilion construction (Expomobilia), architecture (V8

Architects), interactive visitor experiences (Kossmann.dejong), and integral

installation and construction engineering (Witteveen+Bos). The team can also

boast a strong network in Dubai and close collaborations with Dutch start-ups

and innovations.

Dubai EXPO 2020

The 35th universal exposition will take place in Dubai from 20 October 2020

until 10 April 2021. This will be the first time an international exposition is

held in the Middle East. Some 170 participating countries will present ideas,

innovations and technologies inspired by the Expo theme "Connecting minds,

creating the future." The Dutch participation aims to offer a platform to Dutch

stakeholders from both public and private sectors, helping them to strengthen

their networks and positioning in the Gulf region - not just during the Dubai

EXPO but also during the lead-up to the event.
