Milan World's Fair enables to find over 120 countries all in a walking distance with fifty-three Nations participating with stand-alone pavillons and seventy-four countries participating in the nine cluster groupings.

A World's Fair is a gathering of people from many parts of the world, at which they demonstrate their products and their arts, and promote their homelands. This sort of things has been going on since ancient times, when tarders would hold occasional encampments at central crossroads, and entertainers would find a ready, festive-minded audience. The modern string of World's Fairs began in the middle of the nineteenth century when the industrial revolution was flourishing.

Milan will be nominated the “˜Global Capital of Fair Trade´ during the celebration as it hosts hundreds of fair traders and Fair Trade Organisations worldwide.
The 7-day event will focus on the innovative meaning of Fair Trade, through the concept of “responsibility.“ Artisans, farmers, marketers, promoters and advocates will arrive from all over the world to share their experiences, and we will incorporate a perspective of “domestic“ Fair Trade as well. The participating Fair Trade Organisations ensure product excellence and quality, virtuous supply-chains and true development to “feed“ the world. These organisations and individuals are the leading actors of what Fair Trade means. (Worldwide Fair trade Organization)
