"Our goal is to provide the best possible experience not only to our clients, but also to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who will land in the UAE to visit this landmark event."

“While we were looking for an operational partner, Transguard stood out with their in-depth knowledge of our very particular pavilion,” said Daan Stoop, Project Manager of the Netherlands Pavilion at the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. “Their detailed proposal regarding the maintenance of our "microgreens" and oyster mushrooms that are grown in the pavilion was an asset too.”

Netherlands Consul General Hans Sandee, said, “We are happy to have Transguard on board as the operational partner for the pavilion of the Netherlands at Expo 2020 and we’re looking forward to a fruitful co-operation.”
