HANDY TOOLS TO SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM
EXPO 2031 PRIMER
ABOUT EXPO 2031
A1 International Horticultural Exposition- Federally Approved, hosted in Minnesota, USA
Expo 2031 Minnesota, USA is America’s first-ever A1 International Horticultural Exhibition—a global-scale event recognized worldwide as equivalent to a major World’s Fair. From May to October 2031, Minnesota will welcome millions of visitors, innovators, global brands, and nation-state delegations to a 160-acre site designed around a central theme: Human / Nature – Where Humanity and Horticulture Meet.
​
The Expo is being shaped by leading architects, engineers, horticulture experts, and technology visionaries to create one of the most forward-looking environments ever built in the United States. Five climate-inspired horticultural zones—Arid, Tropical, Temperate, Continental, and the North Star Zone—converge at the iconic USA Pavilion, forming an immersive, educational, and awe-inspiring guest experience unlike any other global event.
​
Expo 2031 is more than a six-month exposition—it is a once-in-a-generation national project that showcases American leadership in sustainability, agriculture, design, technology, health, innovation, and culture.
EXPLORING THE EXPO 2031 OPPORTUNITY
Expo 2031 offers companies a unique and high-impact way to help design, shape, and influence one of the most ambitious U.S. placemaking initiatives in decades. Through a structured committee system, partners have the opportunity to join our Global Horticulture Council that supports the development of the Expo—from horticulture design to technology deployment, guest experience, food and hospitality, sustainability, media, and innovation.
​
This partner-led model gives organizations something rare:
A direct hand in creating a global event before the world arrives.
​
Partner investments secure more than visibility—they secure a role in the creative, operational, and strategic blueprint that will define how millions of people from around the world experience the USA, horticulture, and American innovation. It is a collaborative planning environment where industry expertise is not just welcomed—it is foundational.
STAKING YOUR CLAIM IN HISTORY
Expo 2031 is designed to leave a meaningful legacy for future generations.
At its heart will remain the USA Pavilion, preserved as a permanent landmark and the signature legacy structure of the Expo. This pavilion will serve as the anchor for the long-term mixed use innovation and entertainment district that follows, ensuring that the brands and organizations who helped bring Expo 2031 to life are recognized in perpetuity.
​
Partners who join early have the rare opportunity to be woven into the foundational story of the project—both during the Expo and in the legacy that remains long after. This includes permanent recognition within the legacy site for the companies who made the Expo possible, marking them as early champions of a national achievement.
​
To participate in Expo 2031 is to help build a moment in American history—and to have your organization remembered as part of the team that made it real.
SHARING IN THE EXPO 2031 LEGACY
The conclusion of Expo 2031 is not the end of the story—it is the beginning.
Following the Exposition, the site transitions into a pioneering Future Living District: a mixed-use, technology supported neighborhood designed from the ground up to demonstrate the next generation of urban living.
​
This district will integrate:
Residential communities shaped around nature and walkability
Retail, dining, and entertainment rooted in local and global culture
R&D spaces and innovation labs connected to the region’s technology, health, and AgTech leadership
A horticulture-rich public realm, preserving the botanical, agricultural, and environmental assets of the Expo
A smart-city technology spine, demonstrating mobility, IoT, robotics, energy systems, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
​
By participating in Expo 2031, partners extend their influence far beyond a global event—they become foundational contributors to a mixed-use district that will define future living for decades.
The legacy district is designed to attract residents, tourists, researchers, start-ups, major employers, and global innovators.
​
This is not a traditional global event sponsorship—
it is a U.S. federally approved, long-term place-making, economic development and legacy creation with potential licensing, deal and revenue streams not led by a government entity.
