It celebrated the man-made industrial wonders of a rapidly changing world. Architecture, contents and a theme, \u2018Industry of All Nations\u2019, were combined to create a big idea of nations meeting nations in shared technological and commercial progress. In more recent years, participants in World Expos, including governments, international organisations and companies, have gathered to find solutions to universal challenges and to promote their achievements, products, ideas, innovations, their national brand, and their nations as destinations for tourism, trade and investment.<\/p>\n World Expos are held under the auspices of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE),<\/a> the intergovernmental organisation responsible for overseeing and regulating international exhibitions (\u2018Expos\u2019) and for fostering their core values of Education, Innovation and Cooperation. Today, four types of Expos are organised under the BIE\u2019s auspices: World Expos, Specialised Expos, Horticultural Expos and the Triennale di Milano.<\/p>\n
