Expo Milano 2015

"Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" is the core theme of Expo Milano 2015.

Expo Milano 2015 is a global showcase where more than 140 participating countries exhibit the best of their technology to answer a vital need: being able to guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone, while respecting the Planet and its equilibrium. Expo 2015 becomes a platform for the exchange of ideas and shared solutions on the theme of food, while it stimulates each country’s creativity and promotes innovation for a sustainable future.

The Universal Exhibition that Milan, Italy, hosts from May 1 to October 31, 2015, will involve international organizations and expects to welcome over 20 million visitors to its 1.1 million square meters of exhibition area.

The site will display four thematic areas:

-       Pavilion Zero, which traces the history of humankind via its relationship with food;

-       Future Food District, which explains how technology will change food storage, distribution, purchase, and consumption;

-       The Children’s Park, where the young folk can learn about the themes of Expo Milano 2015 while having fun;

-       Biodiversity Park, a large garden in which a number of our planet’s ecosystems are reproduced.

In Milan itself, at the Triennale museum, will be Arts & Foods, an exhibition exploring how the relationship between food and art has changed over the centuries.

Expo Milano 2015 ushers in a new model for the Universal Exhibition. For this is not only a showcase of the best technologies for a sustainable future, but a global, interactive event with thousands of cultural offerings both within and outside the exhibition site. Shows, concerts, conferences, cooking demonstrations, workshops and exhibitions will transform Expo Milano 2015 into an occasion for reflection as well as enjoyment.
