Expo Live

Innovation can come from anywhere, to everyone

An innovation and partnership programme launched by Expo 2020 Dubai

Expo Live funds, accelerates and promotes creative solutions that improve lives while preserving our world.

With an allocation of USD 100 million, Expo Live will harness the convening power of a World Expo to demonstrate how innovations coming from all places and people can advance the pace of progress and inspire a more inclusive and prosperous future.

In the build-up to Expo 2020 Dubai, Expo Live will deploy a combination of grants, challenge prizes and knowledge-sharing events focused on the universal drivers of progress: Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.
