  with 1.7 million visitors, the swiss pavilion at expo 2020 dubai was a great success, showcasing switzerland’s innovation and sustainability. the building featured an interactive mirrored façade and an artistically designed mountain panorama, drawing inspiration from bedouin tents. the use of sustainable materials emphasized its eco-friendliness. the visitor journey offered three immersive experiences: a reflection of switzerland, an ascent through a sea of fog, and a portrayal of the country’s urban innovation. swiss hospitality was highlighted in the sprüngli café and the rooftop bar.
