The 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be notable for its extensive use of science and technology. The event not only offers a stage for groundbreaking achievements, but will also highlight practical examples in both daily life and industry.

Among Shanghai's four exhibition halls, the "Theme Pavilion" is the first to be completed. It employs LED lighting systems and domestically created chips. The advanced design takes up more than 60% of the expo area's lighting. Low carbon and energy saving technologies are also widely used here. Over 1,000 new energy vehicles will be used in and around the venue. Of that number, nearly 200 are powered by fuel cells.
