Bureau International des Expositions

The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) is an international organization that oversees and regulates world expositions, or large-scale fairs held to showcase innovations, culture, and achievements from around the globe. It ensures that each exposition meets specific standards for organization, sustainability, and educational value. The BIE helps facilitate cooperation among participating countries, manages the selection of host cities, and promotes the benefits of these expos for cultural exchange and economic development. Essentially, it acts as a global steward, safeguarding the integrity and success of these major international events.
