As the largest national showcase featured at the exhibition, the
Azerbaijan pavilion spans 1,500 square metres and presents the

“smart village” projects across the liberated territories, as well
as initiatives aimed at transforming the region into a green energy

The Azerbaijan pavilion also features dedicated networking areas
designed for official meetings and the exchange of ideas, alongside
presentation and conference spaces, interactive VR zones, cinema
and tourism sections, a series of masterclasses, and specially
curated areas showcasing Azerbaijani culture and national
cuisine.









During WUF13, the pavilion’s programme will host a wide range of
sessions and high-level discussions focused on the Baku Master Plan
2040, the digital transformation of energy systems, migration and
urban governance, as well as the growing intersection between
urbanisation and the climate agenda.
