Mr. Alkhoori presented the progress already made in construction and landscaping in preparation for the Expo Doha 2023 in Doha’s vast Al Bidda park. To date the Qatar-based event has so far secured the participation of thirty countries, and aims to secure fifty more.
“We strive to be a catalyst for change by hosting this large-scale international exhibition and providing an effective platform for dialogue on horticulture, sustainability, and the environment. We are keen to pave the way for an international exchange on innovation and technology to facilitate the global transformation towards green cities around the world.", said Mr. Alkhoori outlining Qatar’s approach to the Expo.
A unique opportunity for the global community to meet and reflect on global and local horticultural solutions for the first time in the Middle East, Expo 2023 Doha will also be a platform for cultural exchange. To attract visitors and boost the event’s exposure, the Expo 2023 Doha team will also carry out marketing and communications activities, raising awareness among governments, professionals and the wider public.
