Opportunity district

The opportunity district wants to emphasize human power in changing and improving the existing world. The main objective of this district is to show the actual advancements of mankind. It wants to demonstrate the real and existing examples of achievements and challenges that we share as human beings. World Expo wants to change our thinking about various aspects of life: environment, food, and water distribution. The opportunity pavilion is made up of natural materials with respect to the sustainability norms.

The good news is humanity has achieved a lot of progress in medicine, technologies and fight against famine. The bad news is there are still people starving from famine and die from diseases. Millions of people across the globe didn’t benefit from humanity’s achievements.

The objective of this district is to bring up all the innovative ideas to create meaningful connections. This district wants to show us that every human being has a huge role to play. We must ensure that our planet is evolving to a better direction.
