Dubai: Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, has signed a partnership with LG Electronics, to ensure that visitors to its dedicated pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai enjoy a highly immersive journey that invites them to become part of a new chapter in the history of education.
To be held under the theme, “The Future is Human”, the Dubai Cares Pavilion will offer visitors from around the world the opportunity to discover Dubai’s story of coming together and creating a movement that was established by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in 2007 to leverage education as the most effective tool to break the cycle of poverty.
The experience is being brought to life through an array of cutting-edge solutions from global innovator in technology, LG Electronics, which will power the pavilion and support the organization’s mission to enable equitable access to quality education for children and youth around the world.
LG Electronics has provided the Dubai Cares Pavilion with information display technologies, including its 136-inch All-in-One Essential LED screen, interactive display board and video wall solutions to make the experience both smart and immersive. In addition, the pavilion will also leverage LG’s PuriCare double tower air purifier and LG CLOi robot, each working to create a safer and more comfortable environment. The LG CLOi UV-C Bot is a smart, autonomous disinfection solution, which provides contactless cleaning for high traffic and high touch areas, such as offices, hotels and schools.
Dr. Tariq Al Gurg, Commissioner General for the Dubai Cares Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai and Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman of Dubai Cares said: “The Dubai Cares Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai promises to take visitors on an exceptional journey that looks to both the UAE’s rich legacy of philanthropy in improving children’s access to quality education while also highlighting the leading role it is playing in shaping the future of education globally. To ensure that our pavilion captures this story of the UAE in the most inspiring and impactful manner, we are delighted to partner with global names such as LG Electronics to leverage their industry-leading expertise in the latest technologies and solutions. We are thankful to LG for becoming part of the Dubai Cares movement and look forward to a highly successful collaboration during Expo 2020 and beyond.”
“Our collaboration with LG Electronics would not have been possible without the support of Al Yousuf Group whose efforts, as one of LG’s authorized distributors in the UAE, have played a key role in facilitating this partnership. We thank them for bringing the two entities together and contributing towards enhancing the Dubai Cares Pavilion experience at Expo 2020 Dubai,” Dr. Al Gurg added.
“It gives LG tremendous pride to be partnering with the Dubai Cares Pavilion, working together to help foster new dialogues in the quest to create equitable education for all. As the past year has shown, technology is a critical lifeline in education and it has the potential to make learning environments more practical for educators, as well as more engaging for students. As the world unites both virtually and in-person for Expo 2020 Dubai, advancing and future proofing education will be a topic, which engages not only participating countries and organizations, but also visitors from around the world. We look forward to seeing discussions come to life at the Dubai Cares Pavilion,” said Mr. Hongju Jeon, President at LG Electronics Gulf.
The Dubai Cares Pavilion is located in the Opportunity District within Expo 2020 Dubai and will welcome visitors from 10am – 10pm from 1 October 2021 until 31 March 2022 daily.
