“Expo 2020 has two weeks left, and we at Hennessey would like to encourage you to take the opportunity to visit, if you had not yet been and enjoy the fantastic pavilions, shows and learning opportunity that Expo 2020 has to offer.

While you are there, we urge you to visit the Slovenian Pavilion, which Hennessey completed construction, following our partnership with, renowned Slovenian engineering company Riko, Hennessey was proud to be the local main contractor on site for the project. During a year that has brought many challenges to the building industry due to the pandemic, Hennessey has facilitated the construction of the Pavilion through its own resources, plant, and workforce, and collaborated successfully with main contractor, Riko, to complete and handover the project to the Slovenian authorities at a ceremony last week.

Slovenia is a country rich in nature and beauty, and this concept has been cleverly represented in the Pavilion through various features such as the Green Wall that wraps around the building, the timber umbrella structure, and the reflection pools at the entrance. In additional, the Pavilion is located in the Sustainability District which further exemplifies Slovenia’s commitment to sustainable business and growth.

The partnership between Riko and Hennessey has been a successful one, bringing together two organisations to collaborate and to overcome obstacles together in a challenging and uncertain time. This supportive and innovative spirit is one that will be the foundation of the Expo 2020 in Dubai.”
