The UAE pavilion is expected to showcase sustainable energy and smart-city innovation, and to work as a business bridge between Emirati companies and Serbian enterprises — with a dedicated National Day of Emirati culture.

The UAE — a major backer of Belgrade's wider development projects — is expected to bring a pavilion showcasing innovations in sustainable energy and smart cities, featuring what coverage describes as cutting-edge innovations in sustainability and technology. Beyond the showcase, the pavilion is framed as a bridge connecting Emirati companies with Serbian enterprises.
The UAE will have a dedicated National Day at Expo 2027 featuring cultural showcases such as traditional Emirati music or sports events. A Serbian Expo advisor told Gulf News the entire event will reflect the partnership: "the entire EXPO 2027 will be a showcase because without the support of our friends from UAE, this event simply would not be as successful". Pavilion design and budget have not been announced.
“We would be glad to see leading UAE companies expand their presence in Serbia or find new markets through Expo 2027.” — CEO of Expo 2027 Ltd (as reported by Gulf News) [source]
National pavilions sit in the International Participant Area of the 25-hectare Expo site at Surčin, in the western part of Belgrade — the zone that becomes the city's new Belgrade Fair after the event. The site is about 5 km from Nikola Tesla Airport and roughly 13.5 km southwest of central Belgrade (official planning figures), so if you fly in, you land closer to the Expo grounds than to town. Exact positions within the zones haven't been published yet; we'll add the location when the site plan lands.
Coverage points to innovations in sustainable energy and smart cities — cutting-edge sustainability and technology — with the pavilion also framed as a business bridge connecting Emirati companies with Serbian enterprises.
Yes — a dedicated National Day featuring Emirati cultural showcases such as traditional music or sports events.
No — neither has been announced as of mid-2026. The UAE is also one of the major backers of Belgrade's wider development projects around the Expo.
