The BIE-Cosmos Prize is a collaboration between the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) and the Expo ’90 Foundation of Japan, which commemorates Horticultural Expo 1990 Osaka and its value of “Harmonious Coexistence between Nature and Humankind”. It has been awarded at all World and Specialised Expos since 2008, with the aim of giving visibility and support to projects that promote this principle and the theme of the Expo.
As the first World Expo in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, Expo 2020 Dubai will be the world’s most impactful global incubator for new ideas.
