Our bid to host this great event represents the continuation of Russia’s active engagement and outreach to the world. If given the privilege to host the Expo, this event will serve as the intellectual and commercial parallel to the great athletic events that precede it — the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Ekaterinburg truly captures the spirit of Modern Russia. What was once a geographic frontier is now: a city on the cutting edge of science and technology, a city that is home to 45 institutions of higher education and 20 academic research institutes, a city that is undergoing a transformation in residential, commercial, and transportation infrastructure. Ekaterinburg is an ideal symbol of Russia’s future, and the significant national and international investment in this city is a strong and confident testament to our shared vision of commercial growth and success. Our theme for Ekaterinburg Expo 2020 is The Global Mind, Uniting All Humanity in a Single Conversation. Today’s technology enables us to understand humanity in a way that was completely unimaginable just a decade ago. It is now possible to engage in a conversation that includes hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of people. So now imagine if we were to ask the seven billion people from around the world the same question — a question such as “What are the most important issues of our time?” And imagine if we could distil the billions of answers down to a coherent, meaningful and representative set of responses? This is the essence of The Global Mind Our vision is to capture, for the first time, an historic data point on the world’s opinion by posing six universal questions. The cumulative response to these questions will create, in effect, the first true portrait of The Global Mind.
