Eco-innovation business Plan Bee Ltd is heading inter Milan for the World Expo, the largest universal exhibition on the planet.
The Lanarkshire sustainability company has been invited to represent the UK at the 6-month long global showcase by UKTI, the Westminster government’s trade
and industry division. Plan Bee will deliver three speeches based on the central theme of the expo – Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.
Plan Bee outlines some of the themes of his discussions ahead of representing Scotland at this prestigious event:
“The World Expo only happens every five years, and with more than 140 countries represented it will certainly provide a significant stage on which to promote Scotland’s sustainability efforts in the leading food and drink field. More than 20million visitors are expected to pass through the expo during the course of the event, with 20,000 people visiting the UK pavilion every day.
“Bees play a central part in the showcase, with the pavilion designed around a hive. I’ll be looking at the lessons businesses can learn from bees, and the importance of bees to the world’s economy. I’ll also be taking a more whimsical look at bees and beer. This is an amazing stage on which to be promoting not only Plan Bee, but also Scotland and all that we have to offer in our larder.”
