After Expo
EXPO 2027 Belgrade is more than a global event — it’s the foundation for a lasting legacy shaped by play, innovation, and community.
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where the transformative power of play continues to drive progress long after the EXPO ends. This legacy will be felt in the spaces we build, the ideas we spark, and the mindsets we inspire.
By integrating play into urban design, education, and technology, we are shaping a future where creativity fuels innovation, collaboration strengthens communities, and learning becomes an immersive experience. The impact of EXPO 2027 Belgrade will extend far beyond its six months, leaving behind a blueprint for cities, institutions, and individuals to reimagine what’s possible.The legacy is built on two interconnected pillars Transforming Spaces and Transforming Mindsets.

Schools and Kindergartens
