The Netherlands' ambassador to Qatar Ferdinand Lahnstein inaugurated the Dutch pavilion at the International Zone of International Horticultural Expo 2023 Doha in the presence of HE General Commissioner of Expo 2023 Doha ambassador Badr bin Omar al-Dafa along with several members of the Netherlands embassy and the Dutch community in Qatar.
The pavilion is divided into four sections, where visitors can explore the most prominent Dutch innovations and sustainable practices in the fields of water, energy, food, and the latest technological innovations in sustainability.
The pavilion features three main colours: blue, red, and yellow, and offers visitors an inspirational and miniaturised model of an integrated environment. This showcases a different vision for a sustainable green future that addresses challenges such as population growth and the increasing demand for vital resources like water, energy, and food.
Visitors to the pavilion can learn about the latest Dutch water innovations used in agriculture, including water generation through air condensation, relying on clean electricity from solar energy.
Additionally, the pavilion is adorned with a variety of Dutch plants and flowers, featuring a visual presentation to introduce modern farming techniques and ways to support innovation in the Netherlands, making sustainability a way of life followed by nations and individuals.
The pavilion aims to create a contrast between a desert garden with local plants and a Dutch garden with lush greenery.
HE al-Dafa highlighted that the Dutch pavilion represents a new addition to the global exhibition, containing diverse innovations and introducing visitors to modern farming practices in the Netherlands.
He also emphasised that Expo 2023 Doha provides an unprecedented opportunity for participating countries and international organisations to showcase their creative initiatives, agricultural practices, diverse cultures, and rich heritage.
