The Wilh. Wilhelmsen group is one of the main private sponsors of the Norway engagement at EXPO 2010. The largest ever world exhibition takes place in Shanghai between 1 May and 31 October, under the theme ‘Better city. Better life.’

China represents a prominent market in terms of the maritime industry and it is an important market for our services. The Wilh. Wilhelmsen group has been operating in China for several years and we have many offices in the country. EXPO 2010 is an important demonstration of our presence in China, and a unique opportunity to build relations.

Better city. Better life
City life is determined by the city's relationship with nature in and around the city. It is through this approach to city and nature that Norway will address the EXPO theme 'Better City. Better Life.'

Norway. Powered by Nature

Nature experienced as source of inspiration, recreation and pure physical energy. This is the meaning behind the theme chosen for the Norwegian pavilion 'Norway.Powered by Nature'. Visitors coming to the Norwegian pavilion will experience that the Norwegian cities all exist in a close relationship with nature.
