The contract is the first of AED 11 billion worth of construction contracts that Expo 2020 plans to award this year, it was reported.

 

The three districts at the 438-hectare Expo 2020 site will be named Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability. The districts will house 136 pavilions for participating countries, non-governmental organizations, and commercial partners.

 

The six-month long mega-event is scheduled to open on Oct. 20, 2020.

 

Ahmed Al Khatib, vice president – real estate at Expo 2020 Dubai, said that construction of the infrastructure for the mega-project began last year.

 

“With the Theme Districts construction award, we are starting the main phase of buildings and construction,” he added.
