‘OPEN TENT’ CONCEPT

Israel Pavilion, located at Expo’s Opportunity District between the pavilions of India and Italy, is full of symbolism. It is designed as an ‘open tent’ without walls to signify openness, diversity and inclusiveness. Creators of the Israel Pavilion said the concept is meant “to showcase Israel as an open and diverse society that provides equal rights to all its inhabitants. It is also an open invitation to collaborate and address various world challenges”. Officials said visitors to the pavilion will be taken through a journey of Israel’s past, present and future – in particular highlighting Israel’s innovation in agriculture, water, medicine, communications and cyber-technology.
