Expo 2020 Dubai: Austrian companies to showcase futuristic solutions at the event

Dubai - With their tag “Austria makes sense”, the pavilion supports Expo 2020’s vision of organising one of the most sustainable world expos of all time.

The ambitious architectural concept of the Austrian pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai will not only represent a comprehensive picture of modern Austria, but will also showcase its rich history of innovation, according to an Austrian official.

With their tag “Austria makes sense”, the pavilion supports Expo 2020’s vision of organising one of the most sustainable world expos of all time. This has been done by building a pavilion that needs

70 per cent less energy than a conventionally air-conditioned building in the UAE, and by only incorporating companies with spectacular vision for a better future.

“The sustainable, responsible use of resources has a long tradition in Austria. Expo 2020 Dubai will be the biggest event in the world this year and will thus provide a global podium for the key questions of our time. We want to use this forum to showcase prototypical future scenarios for climate and resource-efficient buildings of tomorrow,” said the pavilion’s Commissioner General Beatrix Karl.

Located in the Opportunity District, the pavilion combines ecology and technology to an optimum and thus sets a strong signal for climate protection. The Austria Pavilion also focuses above all on the creative use of digitalisation, made possible by the inclusion of Austrian high-tech companies.

“Currently, Austrian companies are making lasting impressions at the Expo 2020 Dubai site with their strength and creativity while highlighting the possibilities of sustainable construction with their future-oriented creations. In fact, a list of different Austrian companies have already left their mark at the Expo 2020 site including Unger Stahlbau, who are among the team to construct the four entrance gates at the Expo. They are one of Austria’s most successful steel construction companies on the world market,” the pavilion’s Commissioner said.

The Austrian based Raintime, a company that focuses on fogging technology, is also part of the Expo grounds. Their innovations will protect the Austria Pavilion and its audience from heat. This same fogging technology will also be used in the Singapore Pavilion to provide cooling.
