Logonet to run the Finnish pavilion shop at the Expo

2009. 19 October

(finlandatexpo2010.fi) >The organization preparing Finland’s participation in Shanghai World Expo 2010 has agreed on cooperation with Logonet . Under this agreement, Logonet will run the shop services at the Finnish pavilion, named “Kirnu,” during the expo.

Logonet thus joins Finland’s project of participating in the Shanghai World Expo, which opens on May 1, 2010. The Finland at Expo 2010 organization and Logonet signed a contract for cooperation on October 9, 2009, in Helsinki.

Logonet will be in charge of the shop services at the Finnish pavilion throughout the expo. The shop is an integral part of the total experience the Kirnu pavilion offers its visitors. The shop will sell high-quality Finnish products that leave strong memories in the minds of thousands who visit he pavilion each day.

“Managing the shop services of Kirnu is an outstanding opportunity for us. With the shop, we aim to convey a modern, innovative, and positive image of Finland. Our shop concept combines Finnish design and insightful mementos from Kirnu with a playful touch. Thanks to the massive number of visitors, the prospects for profitable business operations are excellent. In addition, we wish to offer promotional products to Finnish export companies at the company functions in Kirnu, and to the Chinese market in general,” says Mr. Lauri Hulkko, the president of Logonet.

The shop is on the first floor of Kirnu, along with the pavilion’s café. The Finnish pavilion for the 2010 world expo is a three-story building of approximately 3,000 square meters, designed by JKMM, an architect’s office in Helsinki. Kirnu won first prize among 104 entries in the design competition, which was held in 2008.

The Shanghai World Expo, to be held on May 1 ­– October 31, 2010, is predicted to be the largest in history. Already, 192 countries and 50 international organizations have signed up for the expo. The hosts are expecting 70 million visitors to the event.
