The World Expo is a large-scale, public exhibitions held in different parts of the world. Expo aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science and technology, to allow exhibitors to publicise and display their achievements and improve international relationships.

Expo 2010 is officially being held in the city of Shanghai, China and runs from May 1 to October 31, 2010.

More than 190 countries and more than 50 international organizations have registered to participate in the Shanghai World Expo, the largest ever.

The Taiwan pavilion (voted as one of the best designs) is a transparent cube housing a giant ball in its center. It is mainly made of steel and glass, with the outlines of the island’s Mount Morrison and Mount Ali (incidentally, it is located in the same city as MIPRO’s headquarters) painted on the facade. The main part of the pavilion was built with stone from Jade Mountain and soil from Yin-Ko Town. Taiwan will invite people to fly lanterns for good luck – a traditional island custom – and view its beautiful mountains and lakes at its pavilion. The pavilion showcases the island’s scenery, its kind-hearted people and culture with the theme “Mountain, Water, Heart and Lantern.”

Inside the Taiwan pavilion, MIPRO ACT-727 receiver with matching ACT-7H handheld transmitter microphones were installed to assist with making event and press announcements.

More than 70–100 million visitors are expected to visit the expo, which would make it the most visited in history.
