&bouqu was invited to be part of a board of experts from around the world to evaluate, shortlist, and select the full series of retail offering at the KSA pavilion at EXPO 2020. The goal was to employ the expertise of board members to ensure the quality of products to be offered at the pavilion. Likewise, it was important to evaluate the items on their cultural resonance, aesthetic and marketing value, in addition to procurement viability being up to standards for the entire duration of the Expo.
