Visitors to the Cambodia Pavilion took a journey through time, from the country’s colourful ancient heritage to its sustainable future. Pico provided interior decoration and set-up for the pavilion’s richly immersive experience.
Themed ‘Energising Sustainability’, the Malaysia Pavilion was a net-zero carbon initiative whose exterior portrayed a treehouse. Pico provided main building construction, civic engineering works, mechanical and engineering works and landscaping.
The Peru Pavilion took visitors on a journey through the country’s cultural diversity, wealth and ancient wisdom. Pico contributed to its activation with design, implementation, maintenance and operation services.
The expo saw the participation of over 190 countries, attracting more than 23 million visits. As a leading partner in World Expos for over 30 years, Pico takes great pride in its contributions to Expo 2020 Dubai, including its winning pavilions. In terms of contract value, the team’s involvement was the largest in our 30 years of experience in world expositions.
