REPUBLIC OF TOGO PAVILION

Digital access defined Simmetrico’s presentation of Togo at Expo 2020 Dubai. Located in the Mobility District under the theme “Welcome to Togo,” the pavilion showed how technology connects citizens, services and markets. Its narrative brought together digital education, electronic identification, mobile social payments, connected public institutions and cybersecurity with initiatives supporting agriculture, rural electrification and water infrastructure. The digitalisation of the Port of Lomé positioned these reforms within Togo’s role as a regional logistics hub, while fintech, agritech and software ventures highlighted local entrepreneurship. Cultural references, including Koutammakou, traditional festivals and the Nana Benz businesswomen, grounded this technological outlook in national identity. Simmetrico organised the programme through a clear visual language and targeted visitor-experience enhancements, making numerous initiatives understandable as one transformation strategy. The result presented Togo as a reform-oriented West African country using digital systems to expand inclusion, improve public services and strengthen economic competitiveness.
