Fentress, FAIA, RIBA; and a tour of the American experiences currently being designed by Detroit-based design firm George P. Johnson Experiential Marketing. The total investment in building the pavilion is estimated at $60 million and the construction of the same will begin by
mid -2019.

This is an important step in the United States' journey to Expo 2020 Dubai. We encourage other companies, cultural and philanthropic organizations, and citizens to learn more about opportunities to get involved."
The event also included a signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the first-of-its kind agreement between Pavilion USA 2020, AmCham Dubai, AmCham Abu Dhabi, and the US-UAE Business Council to promote the shared goal of engaging the private sector in a history-making US pavilion.

Sebright, President of the US-UAE Business Council said: "Today's MOU serves as the platform from which our members can come together in support of the US pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. We are pleased to work closely to ensure the bilateral business communities between our two nations are fully engaged in this important effort. As a commercial priority of the US and the UAE, there are few opportunities more deserving of our full support."
