The principles behind the theme Care for People and Place will help the country ‘unlock significant economic advantages to leverage at Expo 2020’
New Zealand revealed on Tuesday, through a new video trailer, the guiding theme for its Expo 2020 Dubai pavilion, four months ahead of the mega event.
The theme Care for People and Place – inspired by the indigenous environmental ethos of kaitiakitanga, the understanding that humans and nature are inextricably connected – will guide all the engagement, activities, and events undertaken by New Zealand at Expo 2020.
“As an inclusive and multicultural society, New Zealand takes a long-term, multi-generational view to both social and environmental issues, some of which can be seen in the video footage,” said Clayton Kimpton, New Zealand’s Commissioner-General to Expo 2020 Dubai.
“Our pavilion experience at Expo 2020 will demonstrate how we apply Care for People and Place to all facets of life, particularly when it comes to business, social inclusion, women’s empowerment, youth development, food production, and agriculture, our primary export sector. We believe this approach is helping to unlock a significant economic advantage for New Zealand to leverage at Expo 2020,” he continued.

Embed security into your
business architecture:
When security is a foundational requirement through the company’s value chain—from suppliers to customers—your business partner won’t become your greatest vulnerability. With this approach, security is not an “add-on” feature for products and services. That’s why CEOs should articulate a vision of “security-by-design” from the earliest stages of development.

Address the vulnerabilities of
Internet technology:
To some, the technical deficiencies of Internet infrastructure are the “elephant in the room.” But with the guidance that our research provides, business leaders can exert their influence to address these issues. Then the tech community can truly commit to strengthening not just security on devices, but also for networks and the Internet’s basic protocols.
The benefits of a secure, trustworthy Internet economy are clear.
CEOs have an opportunity to drive meaningful change today and develop a foundation of trust for tomorrow’s digital economy. Unfortunately, just one attack is all it takes to damage an organization.
The actions of CEOs—driving above ground and influencing below ground—matter. By joining forces with other CEOs, public sector leaders and regulators, they can develop much-needed guidelines and oversight mechanisms. By protecting their own organization and extending protection through its value chain, they will safeguard the business ecosystem. By embracing and developing technologies that can advance their businesses and enhance digital safety, CEO engagement can drive a trust turnaround for the Internet and secure the future of the digital economy.
