HOW TO BUILD A WORLD-CLASS EXPO

Matteo Renzi, former Prime Minister of Italy and member of the Future Investment Initiative, discusses the importance of Expos with Talal Almari, CEO of Expo 2030. They explore why Expos are still relevant in a digital age, emphasizing the need for human connection amidst increasing fragmentation. Talal highlights Riyadh's readiness to host Expo 2030, citing its rapid transformation, accessibility, and infrastructure development. Vision 2030 is presented as foresight in action, focusing on transformational technology, sustainable solutions, and prosperous people. Almari details the scale and purpose of Expo 2030, aiming to inspire progress rather than simply reflecting it. The legacy of Expo 2030 in Saudi Arabia is expected to be economic, social, and cultural. Renzi proposes showcasing the progress of Expo 2030 at the FII European edition in Milan in 2026. Almari extends an invitation to the world to participate in Expo 2030 as partners and co-creators.
