Belgrade Expo 2027: Evaluating the economic impact and long-term benefits of specialized exhibitions

Specialized Expos, such as the one set to take place in Belgrade in 2027, are often hailed as global events with the potential to drive both short-term and long-term economic growth. However, according to studies and expert analysis, determining the actual economic impact of such events is complex, with outcomes differing based on the specific circumstances of the host country.

Belgrade will host the next specialized Expo, focused on the theme “Play for Humanity: Sport and Music for Everyone.” The expected cost of organizing the event is pegged at 2.5 billion euros, but questions remain about how this investment will translate into tangible benefits for Serbia in the years to come.

Experts point to both the positive and negative effects of past Expos, especially in terms of infrastructure development, tourism, and employment. While short-term gains such as increased visitor numbers and investments in infrastructure are often reported, long-term economic benefits are less clear. Some host cities, like Shanghai and Madrid, have seen sustained economic growth, while others, such as Zaragoza, struggled to maintain positive impacts due to factors like the global economic crisis.

In the case of Belgrade, monitoring indicators such as visitor numbers, tourism revenue, investments, and job creation will be key in assessing the success of Expo 2027. Experts argue that the true measure of success will not be evident until years after the event, as it depends on factors like export growth, foreign investments, and the long-term utilization of the infrastructure built for the Expo.

Ultimately, while Expos are seen as opportunities for significant economic development, their lasting impact is often difficult to measure and may vary based on the host country’s ability to capitalize on the event’s potential.
