South Africa will participate at the upcoming World Expo 2020. Cabinet approved the participation in December 2019. The event was subsequently postponed due to COVID-19. It will be held as a hybrid of virtual and on-site exhibitions in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. 

The multinational event, which is held every five years in different countries, provides a large and attractive market to showcase South African goods and services to a global audience. South Africa will be one of the 200 countries that will participate in the Expo, which is expected to attract more than 25 million visitors from across the globe.
