Providing Excellent Experiences to Millions Through Digital Transformation Expo 2020 set out to connect minds and create a better future. The event was based on the fundamental belief that people can collaborate to forge new pathways for progress. In Dubai, Expo 2020 had 24.1 million visits in which attendees explored the event’s core themes focused on mobility, sustainability, and opportunity. The multibillion-dollar megaproject took years to plan and involved hundreds of public, private, and international stakeholders. As a transformative nation-building effort, the leaders behind Expo 2020 needed the right technology to plan and operate the event at scale – so they chose SAP S/4HANA® and SAP® Ariba® solutions. “Expo 2020 was a world -class event, so we needed world-class software and technology. SAP S/4HANA provided a digital foundation that helped create unified processes in HR, procurement, and finance to smooth event planning and operations.”
