Transformational technology to put air travel on a flight path towards a net-zero future
Innovating for a shared future
Wood as an Official Partner of the UK Pavilion is delighted to support Expo 2020 Dubai. During the six-month event we will look to inspire visitors through diverse talks and events that will focus on unlocking solutions to some of the world’s most critical challenges including the climate emergency, energy transition, and role of digital in enabling resilient outcomes.
“Expo 2020 has designed a progressive programme, which looks to the future, and explores how we can unite and take personal and collective responsibility to improve quality of life for generations to come.
“At Wood, we recognise the unstoppable momentum towards a net-zero future, and we see it as our role to apply our global expertise and the talent of our workforce to engineer practical solutions to these unprecedented challenges. The themes and discussions throughout Expo 2020 and the UK’s Pavilion and programme offer an ideal platform to share practical and technical solutions. Support for this event also further signals our commitment to the UAE.”
