travel and connectivity

Join us for a day of lightning talks, discussions and case study presentations focusing on how we can harness the power of travel and connectivity to power a more sustainable future.

Physical and digital connectivity not only brings us all closer together, but are also the bedrock of healthy and empowered societies. Under this Theme Week, Expo will explore the ways in which technology is being harnessed to better fields of mobility, health, travel and much more. Smart and sustainable mobility, AI (artificial intelligence) for good, virtual learning, remote work, and data privacy are among the myriad issues that will be addressed.

Offering everything from online tax filing to internet elections to quick business registration via your mobile device, Estonia is one of the world’s first e-governments, a true digital-first society. With a luminous design that draws inspiration from the circuitry that powers it, the Estonia Pavilion shares the Baltic nation’s digital innovations with Expo 2020.

Inside, visitors can tour a futuristic model e-classroom and walk beneath illuminated data “clouds” based on the country’s X-Road online infrastructure – but it’s not all digital here. You can also taste Nordic-inspired Estonian cuisine at the on-site restaurant.

SIEMENS: Grand Finale of the MindSphere Future World Series

The increasing reliance on storing, processing and exchanging data on electronic devices, whether it is data for individuals or institutions, leads to its exposure to the risk of change, destruction, theft or exploitation by others. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the existence of protection tools for that information. Moreover, the more important the information is, the more protection tools are needed to protect it. The tendency to provide electronic services and digital transformation necessarily leads to the importance of identifying information, its types, how to protect it, the risks it may be exposed to, and the legislation criminalizing its infringement.

The aim of this workshop, organised by the General Women's Union (GWU), is to spread awareness among the members of the community about the risks that information may be exposed to. As well as warning them about electronic systems. No electronic system is fully protected, but the minimum level of protection should be taken to ensure the preservation of information. People should also be aware of the danger of storing or transferring information without taking protection measures, whether they are private or related to work, as this may pose a danger to personal or work life. Likewise, exposure to the attack on information requires knowledge of the procedures to be followed to reduce the damage that results from the attack, and to enable the control and investigation authorities to reach the criminals. 

One should know not to be influenced or effected by any threats, or any form of blackmail, that may be made by criminals after stealing information. Emphasis is placed on real-life examples such as theft of credit card data or personal photos.

General Women's Union: Know Your Rights Programme

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.
