USA National Pavilion organizers today announced that NYSE
Euronext (NYX) will be an exclusive sponsor of the USA National
Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The announcement comes on
the eve of official groundbreaking ceremonies for the USA Pavilion
in Shanghai.
Frank Lavin, Board Member of the USA Pavilion Committee, said,
�We are thrilled that NYSE Euronext, a leading global operator of
financial markets and provider of innovative trading technologies,
has chosen to partner with the USA National Pavilion to highlight
its commitment to China and the Shanghai Expo.�
�Joining many of our listed company partners, we are proud to
support the 2010 Shanghai World Expo as a sponsor of the USA
Pavilion,� said Duncan L. Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer of
NYSE Euronext. �China is a focal point of our company�s global
vision and we welcome the opportunity to showcase our role in
helping enterprises from China and around the world access capital
markets to build better cities and better lives.�
The 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be held from May 1 through
October 31, 2010 with a projected 70 million attendees, 95% of whom
are expected to come from Mainland China. This will be China�s
first role as host of a world expo, and already over 180 nations
have committed to participate.
At over 60,000 square feet, the USA National Pavilion will be
one of the largest pavilions at the Expo. It will showcase American
culture, values, and businesses in China�s most dynamic city, while
at the same time celebrating the friendship and cooperation between
the U.S. and China. Official groundbreaking ceremonies for the USA
National Pavilion are scheduled to take place in Shanghai on
Friday, July 17, 2009.
In accordance with U.S. legal requirements, the USA Pavilion is
being operated through a non-profit organization. The entity,
Shanghai Expo 2010 Inc., is co-chaired by Ellen R. Eliasoph and
Nick S. Winslow. The U.S. Department of State is prohibited by U.S.
federal law from spending appropriated funds in international
expositions. Therefore, U.S. private sector participation is
essential to raise the necessary funds to design, build and operate
the USA National Pavilion.
