As Expo 2020 Dubai transitions from its role as a World Expo, into its next phase as a cultural, entertainment, and business hotspot in the landscape of Dubai, it must develop its entertainment programming to maintain a world-class standard while also generating the independent revenue to constantly evolve and elevate its creative offerings. In line with these goals, Expo City should also leverage the unique Ceremonial experience and talent acquired from Expo 2020 Dubai, by continuing to deliver major ceremonial events locally, regionally, and ultimately internationally, thus cultivating local talent, further elevating the UAE\xe2\x80\x99s global reputation, and encouraging new streams of revenue.

By achieving the above, Expo City will develop global status, operating successfully as both a physical location and a ceremonial production entity. This approach will aim to solidify Expo 2020 Dubai\xe2\x80\x99s legacy as a positive long-term investment in the UAE\xe2\x80\x99s economy, human capital, and overall global reputation.
