    At the end of March, the world exhibition in Dubai came to an end after six months. According to a press release , Presence Switzerland is satisfied with Switzerland’s performance. As a unit of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), Presence Switzerland was responsible for running the Swiss pavilion during the Expo.

    According to Presence Switzerland, the Swiss Pavilion received a total of 1.7 million visitors. Among them were people from around 100 different nationalities. This made the Swiss Pavilion one of the most popular and most visited pavilions at the Expo.

    The Swiss Pavilion also served as a platform for exchange with trading partners. More than 50 companies and 20 institutional partners and universities have used it for this purpose. In addition, 987 official delegations visited the pavilion, including 90 prime ministers, ministers and governors from different countries.

    A survey showed that the majority had a good or very good impression of the Swiss presence. The pavilion has also had a positive impact on how Switzerland is perceived in areas such as innovation, tourism, sustainability and Swiss products.

    The Swiss Pavilion at Dubai Expo has won a gold medal. According to a press release , it was voted the best pavilion for medium-sized country presentations at the World Expo Awards organized by Exhibitor magazine.

    A central showpiece in the Swiss Pavilion is the artificially generated fog. The effect changes constantly for the visitor, so that at the end a Swiss mountain panorama becomes visible. The expert jury also voted the fog the third best staging element of the Expo in terms of theme and implementation.

    The Zurich scenography agency Bellprat Partner AG is behind the Swiss fog. According to the information, she worked on the development of the Swiss Pavilion for more than five years. She was also supported in the implementation by Zurich architects OOS and Lorenz Eugster ‘s office for landscape architecture, also in Zurich. The partners worked on behalf of Presence Switzerland .

    The Swiss pavilion was not only well received by the jury of the World Expo Awards. With a total of 1.5 million visitors so far, it is one of the five most popular buildings at the entire Expo. Overall, the world exhibition in Dubai has so far had over 19 million visitors. It runs until the end of March.
