Expo Internacional Zaragoza 2008 |
The International Exhibition, Water and Sustainable Development, better known as Expo Zaragoza 2008, was the main event of the political and social agenda in 2008.
During the 90 days it was open, Zaragoza became the headquarters of an international forum where over 100 countries discussed ideas and projects on the management of water resources in the world, one of the great challenges of the XXI century.
ExpoZaragoza 2008 was presented as a water theme park, where the buildings and proposed facilities contributed to sensitizing the public about responsible consumption of this element, scarce and essential for life, and to disseminate scientific knowledge relating to this resource.
How could it be otherwise, IDECONSA actively participated in the project. Since the nomination in 2005 as class sponsor, then the execution of landmark works such as the Palacio de Congresos, and finally as a collaborator of the sample within the sponsorship "Friends of the Expo".
