Hosted by the Delegation of the European Union in Abu Dhabi, this is held in partnership with the Italian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish Embassy, as well as UN Women and Expo 2020's Women’s Pavilion.

Women make tremendous contributions to the world, yet many remain unknown or forgotten. The Women’s Pavilion in collaboration with Cartier at Expo 2020 challenges this imbalance by taking visitors on a journey through the remarkable achievements of women across the globe. Our showcase underscores the principle that “When women thrive, all of humanity thrives”.

The pavilion showcases the exceptional accomplishments of women, world-famous and unknown. Immerse yourself in the triumphs of women through history, discover the journeys women have taken to claim their equality and dive into the stories of the inspirational women shaping our future.

Women And Career Progression: How To Fully Harness Human Potential

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

Austria Pavilion

Sometimes solutions to modern challenges come from something as old as dirt – literally. The innovative, heat-regulating Austria Pavilion is constructed entirely from humankind’s oldest building material: loam, a soil of sand and clay. The dozens of cones that make up the pavilion use thermodynamics to pull in cool air from below and push warm air out the top, providing a natural climate-control mechanism. Their elegant blend of simplicity and ingenuity makes the pavilion both a calming oasis and a perfect place to explore innovations such as the heartbeat installation, which transforms your heart pattern into a dynamic digital projection.
