Vanuatu participation to the Dubai Expo is still on!
Despite current global travel restrictions putting a lockdown on many of the world’s global events, the Dubai World Expo will happen.
The World Expo 2020 was postponed after world leaders voted on its deferral will now be welcoming participants commencing October 2021 until 31st of March 2022.
In country preparations by Vanuatu began in 2019 and into 2020 until the COVID 19 disruptions to travel slowed down preparations.
Nevertheless, the private sector has been working tirelessly to ensure that its products will make the containers in time for the first shipments in March.
VFIPA is also part of the Committee and is working towards investment information that can be displayed and disseminated throughout the 6 month long event.
An important milestone that was achieved by the Committee was the signing of contracts for services and products totaling VT1.5 million by the Government to each participating private sector entity which total 5 businesses. A historic achievement in private sector participation in international expos as this has never happened in the past.
VFIPA’s participation will ensure sufficient information is provided to showcase Vanuatu’s investment climate and the possibilities of FDI opportunities that may draw interest from possible clients that will be present at the world expo.
