Ukrainian pavilion will be the platform for demonstration of smart-approach to life.
Ukrainian pavilion will demonstrate the opportunities of smart-approach to life which results in decrease of harmful footprint, efficient use of resources and territories, creation of stable and simple products. All expositions are united by the idea of sustainable growth opportunity of ‘new innovative and mobile society’ which exists in harmony with the environment. Exhibition and events in Ukrainian pavilion will be divided into 4 sub-themes – smart-life, smart-health, smart-thinking and smart-feeling.
The modern society has been extensively using smart-technologies. It is impossible to imagine development of communications, power engineering, safety, transport, environmental protection among many other industries without smart technologies.
Now Ukraine is on the stage of active realization of “smart city” concept. It is meant to increase the comfort and quality life level by means of digitalization of processes and efficient resourсe usage.
This concept is tightly integrated with the main theme of Expo-2020 which claims that current global problems are too complex to be solved separately. Solution of global problems requires the world society to be ready to take actions regardless of geographical position, institutional boarders, industrial clusters, culture and discipline.
