About EXPO2017
In 2017, the capital city of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana, will make history as the first former member of the Soviet Union to be selected as a host of the World’s Fair, also know as “Expo”. The winning topic of the prestigious international exhibition that symbolizes industrialization and innovation Expo 2017 is "Future Energy." A prestigious exhibition that hails the visionary who presents the most innovative approach to the present obstacles industrialization faces in our time.
