Program and events
Spirit of Innovation in business, culture and science
Sweden invites you to visit the Swedish pavilion at World Expo Shanghai 2010. The Swedish program also features activities on the stages of the Expo area as well as in Shanghai city center.
Spirit of Innovation is the theme for the national program and reflects our three keywords – sustainability, innovation and communication. The Swedish groundbreaking ceremony featured dancing diggers to add a new artistic twist to a traditional ceremony.
