In February 1968, this nation's founding fathers met under a desert tent and shared an idea that would turn into something truly great: the United Arab Emirates. Animated by this spirit of collaboration, The Good Place by Expo Live is an exhibition space dedicated to showcasing human potential and those who work to advance it – through the Expo Live innovation and partnership programme and beyond.

With a design inspired by the tent where the UAE was conceived, the pavilion showcases social innovations conceived to improve our lives. Come and meet ordinary people doing extraordinary things – and be inspired to join our global community.

Designed by renowned Emirati architect Ahmad Abdulrahman Bukhash, The Good Place’s structure expands the Bedouin tent shape into an elegant white canopy, folded with seven origami-like angles on each side to join at a tall peak. The tent seems to float over a clean, glass box.

From farm to plate, the food value chain is an integral part of society, providing income and livelihoods for billions. The ways in which we currently cultivate food by means of deforestation and food waste however, are all contributing adversely to climate change. Expo will serve as a platform to bring together all stakeholders in various value chains to spotlight localized solutions to food, nutrition and farming challenges. The programme will explore food sustainably, climate-friendly agriculture and other practices that work in harmony with the environment.

Expo Live Impact Series

Curated by the United Arab Emirates Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, this panel discussion sheds light on the challenges associated with growing food in the desert and the innovative agricultural solutions to tackle these issues. Panelists discuss how agricultural innovations are important in the UAE, and how achieving food security goes beyond 'growing more food' with emphasis on environmental protection in the process. The panel also explains how educating the next generation of dreamers and investing heavily in empowering them helps further the UAE's food security and innovation agenda.

Keynote panelists include Aphisith Joe Phangsavanh (Lead Project Manager at Sarya Holding, Smart Acres), Dr. Tarifa Al Zaabi (Acting Director General at the International Centre for Biosaline Agriculture - ICBA), and Yazen Al Kodmani (Operations Manager at Emirates Bio Farm). The session is moderated by Kelsey Warner, Future Editor at The National.

Open-heartedness and ambition are values captured by the UAE Pavilion, designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The remarkable building is reminiscent of a falcon in flight, inspired by our national bird. Once inside, go on a multisensory journey that chronicles the rise of a nation of “dreamers who do”. Traverse a dreamlike landscape filled with dunes of real sand to learn about our nation’s founding father Sheikh Zayed, the natural wonders of the Emirates and their rapid modernisation. Be inspired by stories of the UAE dreamers building an inclusive future as the desert sun filters through the pavilion’s oculus. 

The design of the UAE Pavilion evokes a falcon in flight; referencing the Emirates’ traditional art of falconry. The main building resembles a titanic oval, with a grand, four storey entrance set into the tip. More than 25 feather-like panels are arranged at the dome of the pavilion, each curving down toward the entry of the structure.

Expo Live Impact Series: Simplifying Agricultural Supply Chains (and How Tech Can Help)

Facing the climate crisis and a rapidly degrading environment, men and women around the planet are working towards agricultural transformation and technological innovation to grow fertile land, one of humanity’s most precious natural assets. In particular, water scarcity in combination with many mouths to feed have been necessary drivers of innovation in the Arab region and in the Sahel. Women are playing their part in this process. As the possibilities of growing food in desert lands are rapidly increasing, we speak with female frontrunners about their achievements in agricultural transformation and growing greenery in the desert, as well as the necessity of stepping up women’s involvement in this extremely important professional field.
