The City of Oslo will participate at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai, as part of the Norwegian pavilion. The aim is to promote Norway's capital and help businesses and institutions in research, higher education and culture in the Oslo region making the World Expo an arena for building relations.
“Better City, Better Life” is the theme for the EXPO 2010, which is open from 1 May to 31 October 2010. A total of 70 million people are expected to visit EXPO 2010, and 230 exhibitors are registered, divided in countries, regions and organisations.
The concept of the Norwegian pavilion is "Norway. Powered By Nature", which will focus on the urbanized man’s relationship to nature, listing sustainable urban development, energy, creativity and way of life as key words. As Norway’s capital, Oslo will be an important contributor to the Norwegian pavilion.
Oslo Teknopol will be responsible for planning a program for business, research and higher education in Oslo, in close cooperation with key knowledge based clusters in the region, the City of Oslo, Norway at Expo 2010 and other relevant partners.
