Parquexpo is a company with public capital in Portugal, founded in 1993. with a goal to prepare and organize the world exhibition EXPO ’98. Company’s assignment was to revitalize and build objects in the east part of Lisbon, where this big happening found place.

After EXPO, the company did not end its existence, but continued with its work and adapted its function to new goals – revitalization of abandoned parts of the city and to the local planning. Its highly qualified employees continued with working, achieving great results in urbanism, underlining the importance of social significance, environment and economic profitability. Parque Expo works on various projects, from ruined historical monuments, old industrial plants to abandoned parts of the city. Their work can be seen all over Portugal, south Europe, Balkans, as in several African countries.

 

During Belgrade Design Week 2009, you enabled participants to meet with representatives from different countries, in professional, as well a sin social settings, which provided the opportunity for spontaneous interactions, where everyone was engaged in true cross-cultural dialogues. This allowed participants from different countries to become familiar with attitudes, ideas, and practices on the common topics of design.   We had received first hand accounts of current situation in creative fields and intellectual status of Belgrade Design Week, exchanged ideas and knowledge, mixed and mingled among each other. And the unique opportunity was given for all of us to establish professional relationships and develop lifelong friendships. We were eager to discover Belgrade and had a unique chance to enjoy the city! No doubt, it was our first, but not our last visit to Belgrade. All the best to Belgrade Design Week for the future to come! We are looking forward to be a part of your success
