Shaping a post-pandemic world<\/h2>\n

Accelerating breakthrough technological innovations for the SDGs<\/h3>\n\t

The World Expo in Dubai will focus on knowledge and technologies that are crucial to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It will be an accelerator and testing ground for breakthrough technological solutions that the world needs to shape a post-pandemic world and create a better future for all. It’s therefore the perfect opportunity to hold the fifth G-STIC conference, the first one taking place outside of Brussels (Belgium).<\/p>\n

The G-STIC conference in Dubai will be spread over two editions: October 2021 and January 2022.<\/p>\n\t

Expo 2020 in Dubai has a strong focus on knowledge and technologies that are crucial to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It will be an accelerator and testing ground for breakthrough technological solutions that the world needs to shape a post-pandemic world and create a better future for all.<\/p>\n

The Expo 2020 programme is built around 9 thematic areas, from water to food & agriculture, from climate change impact and biodiversity to health & wellness, with special emphasis on digitally enabled platforms. Most importantly, Expo 2020 aims to foster collaboration across cultures, nations and regions and enable concrete partnerships for sustainable development across and between all stakeholders.<\/p>\n

This world exposition is therefore the perfect opportunity to hold the fifth edition of the G-STIC conference, the first one taking place outside of Brussels (Belgium).<\/p>\n\t
