Panama Pacific to Foire de Paris: Innovation and Creation Across Time and Space

On May 12, 2024, the International Exposition in Paris, France, concluded grandly, showcasing once again the brilliant achievements of human civilization. Tracing back, the first World Expo opened magnificently in London, UK in 1851, and the 1915 Panama Pacific World Expo emerged as a global focal point. The century-long journey of the World Expos has not only closely followed the pace of social development but also vividly displayed the spirit of innovation and creation of the times.

The first World Expo was attended by Emperor Napoleon III of France, who was profoundly impressed. Under his patronage, the first Foire de Paris took place in 1855 with the aim of promoting French commerce, technology, and culture.

A featured event at this colorful exposition was the academic conference organized by the Panama Pacific International Exposition Society (California, USA), the Panama Canal Historical Society, the Panama Pacific International Exposition Committee, and the Panama Pacific International Exposition Association (Hong Kong). This conference served not only as a commemoration of the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition but also as an important academic exchange event, attracting representatives from many institutions, including Tiens Group.

During the expo, various participating organizations also conducted a series of research activities aimed at further promoting international exchange and cooperation and deepening the understanding of the impact of the intersection of history and modernity.
