The total cost to HM Government is £36.5m. This is funded from existing budgets within the GREAT Campaign, the Department for International Trade and five Government Departments with an additional cash and value in kind sponsorship from industry worth £7.5m.

UK companies have already won contracts with Expo 2020 Dubai worth £1.2bn. UK companies will be provided with opportunities to connect and develop new partnerships with other businesses from across more than 190 participating nations to continue developing global relationships and trade.
