The Expo in Shanghai is the first international presentation of Freiburg’s Green City brand. BGA Group were proud to be asked to develop a part of the communication concept.
What was BGA’s assignment?

“It was BGA Group’s task to expand on the ‘Expo 2010’ exhibition concept. Taking the existing building blocks and giving them a character and tone-of-voice that will communicate the cities vision and mission at the Expo and beyond. ‘Sustainability’ is a buzzword in the media - we are showing how Freiburg “lives and breaths it”

Our objective is to present Freiburg as a forerunner of ecological technology and sustainability. Freiburg has been recognised as a “Best Practice” city for urban development, our job is to communicate Freiburg’s key messages to the global audience at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai”.
