Expo Shanghai 2010 will experience the power of T&T’s music ambassadors in late September when international entertainer Kees Diefenthaler and his group Kes The Band, Maximus Dan, Rikki Jai and Nadia Batson perform at the Trinidad and Tobago booth. The sounds of soca, chutney and rapso will be on full display in China onstage at the CARICOM Pavilion.
The local entertainers are the major acts featured during Trinidad and Tobago week, which runs from September 19th to 26th at the Pavilion, where the T&T Booth is located. The week features a number of activities including local food, product displays and sales, carnival costume displays, etc. T&T Week is designed to highlight the various aspects of our culture for visitors and participants at the Expo.
In addition, Chef Joe Brown will join the T&T delegation to prepare authentic Trinidad and Tobago food, which will be featured at the Trinidad and Tobago Business Forum which takes place on September 27th at the Sofitel Hotel in downtown Shanghai. Hosted by Eteck, The Forum involves presentations from a range of agencies on doing business and investing inTrinidad and Tobago. Invitees to the Forum include some of the major businesses in Shanghaialong with key members of the local chamber and other business associations.
Part of the overall CARICOM Pavilion, Trinidad and Tobago’s presentation at Expo Shanghai 2010 focuses on a core activity of securing business opportunities in trade, joint venturing and foreign direct investment. The concept of our display ties in closely with the overall theme of Expo Shanghai 2010 and allows us to ingeniously focus on the many business opportunities available in our major metropolitan areas by highlighting through striking photographic images, visuals and text, the many strengths and competitive advantages of Trinidad and Tobago to potential investors, business partners and members of the visiting public.
Expo Shanghai 2010 is a scheduled World Expo in the tradition of international fairs and expositions held under the Bureau of International expositions (BIE). The theme of the exposition will be "Better City – Better Life" and signifies Shanghai's new status in the 21st century as a major economic, diplomatic and cultural centre. It is expected to generate the largest number of visitors in the history of the world's fairs in terms of gross numbers.
More than 200 countries and over 50 international organizations are participating in the Shanghai World Expo. China expects to receive almost 100 foreign leaders and millions of people from across the world to come and visit the World Expo. 70 million visitors are expected overall, the largest in history.
