Your pavilion. Our delivery network.
Every nation participating sends a small team to deliver a very large promise.
Every nation participating in Expo 2030 Riyadh sends a small team to deliver a very large promise. The pavilion is the country’s stage; the build, the programming, the operations, and the unwind are all delivered through suppliers, most of them sourced in-Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia is a delivery market with rules of its own. Local content scoring, Saudisation bands, customs, materials sourcing, and labour compliance shape every pavilion contract. Sourcing in this environment without a vetted network is the single largest budget and timeline risk a participant team will carry.
Our platform is built around delivery. Intelligence reads the pavilion supply landscape across the 12 Expo delivery domains. Access opens the rooms where specialist Saudi capability sits; build firms with prior Expo cycle experience, fit-out specialists who know the climate, hospitality and F&B operators with diplomatic clearance, AV providers who have run World Expo content. Delivery is the work itself; the curated network of Expo-experienced, Saudi-compliant suppliers, matched to your pavilion brief.
65+ years of collective Expo experience and more than a decade in Saudi Arabia.


A curated network of experienced suppliers
Pavilion build, fit-out, programming, operations, hospitality, F&B, AV, staffing; suppliers vetted on Expo cycle delivery and Saudi compliance.
Every supplier on the network is qualified on three axes: prior Expo experience, Saudi regulatory compliance, and capability match to the pavilion brief. We bring you the shortlist; you keep the decision.


Intelligence; calibrated to pavilion delivery
Procurement intelligence and supplier mapping calibrated to the country pavilion mandate.
Where the qualified suppliers are. What the lead times look like across the 12 delivery domains. Where Saudi compliance gates sit. The brief becomes actionable on day one.



Access; the Saudi institutional rooms
Introductions and protocol management with the Saudi institutions that shape pavilion delivery.
Expo 2030 Riyadh Company, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contracting authorities, and the institutional partners who run programming, security, and transport. We open the right rooms; we brief your team on what to expect.

“Pavilion delivery is the most public expression of national ambition any country brings to a World Expo. The supplier mix decides whether the pavilion lives up to the brief. We curate the network; your team delivers the country.”

For Organising Committee & Participants delivering Expo 2030 pavilions
How does nuwa vet pavilion suppliers?
Three gates. Prior Expo cycle experience: documented work on Shanghai, Milan, Dubai, Osaka, or earlier cycles. Saudi regulatory compliance: registration, local content, Saudisation, customs, and labour standing in good order. Capability match: the supplier's delivered work aligns with your pavilion brief. Suppliers that pass all three are introduced; suppliers that pass two are flagged with the gap; suppliers that fail are not on the network.
Do you work with the Expo 2030 Riyadh Company?
We work alongside it. The Expo 2030 Riyadh Company holds the central programme mandate; the masterplan, the regulatory framework, and the central operations brief. Country pavilion delivery sits within that framework but is owned by the participating country and its appointed team. We support the country team on the supplier side of that delivery.
What if our country has already appointed a pavilion architect?
That is the most common starting point. We work alongside the appointed architect, not in place of them. The architect is the design lead; we curate the execution layer beneath them; build, fit-out, MEP, AV, programming, hospitality, F&B, security, staffing. Most participant teams find the architect-to-delivery handover is where supplier risk concentrates. We sit at that handover.
Can you handle programming and cultural content as well as build?
Programming is part of the network. Curators, content producers, performance partners, and cultural experience operators are vetted on the same three gates as build suppliers. We pair the country brief with the right content lead and oversee delivery alongside the build programme.
How do Saudi compliance requirements affect pavilion build timelines?
They lengthen them, predictably. Customs clearance for materials, contractor registration, Saudisation bands on labour mobilisation, and security clearance for staff each carry lead times. Pavilion teams that plan against generic World Expo timelines under-shoot the Saudi build window by six to ten weeks. We sequence the supplier mix and the compliance gates together, so build, fit-out, and operations land on time.
What if our budget is fixed and tight?
Most pavilion budgets are. The supplier curation is what protects them. The risk in fixed-budget pavilion delivery is the second supplier you contract with after the first one fails to perform; the rework, the extension, the reactive procurement at premium rates. A vetted network reduces that probability. We are explicit about cost ranges before introductions are made; the briefing tells you what is achievable inside the envelope.
Do you work with multiple participating countries simultaneously?
Yes. We work with several countries in any given Expo cycle. Supplier conflicts are managed through scope segmentation (different supplier categories per country), capacity allocation (we know which suppliers can carry parallel mandates), and explicit conflict protocols. Pavilion teams that need exclusivity on a specific supplier can request it as part of the engagement structure.
