Fountains, small architectural designs water, wind, sun, and earth installed in the Exhibition territory are intended to demonstrate energy efficient technologies that can improve human life in the future.
During EXPO , which lasted for 93 days, about 3, cultural events were held at the venue and which saw nearly 4 million visitors. The completion of the large-scale Exhibition will mark the start of the post-exhibition use of the EXPO site, which will combine the functions of a business center and an educational, exhibition, cultural and recreational space.
Some of the facilities that were in operation during the Exhibition will reopen their doors as early as in November. The culture and recreation hall, Energy Hall, and the Congress Center, which held forums and other business events, will also be reopened. An exhibition area of 62, square meters will be organized in the pavilions where participating countries were initially based. One of the buildings will be converted into an Education Center.
In addition, the International Technology Park for IT Startups, a local Silicone Valley, will be established on the site of a 12,square-meter corporate pavilion. According to the plans, both the exchange and the financial academy, representative offices of Islamic and investment banks, as well as an arbitration court of an international exchange, will be located there.
In the same way that the Eiffel Tower built for the World's Fair changed the appearance of Paris once and for all, the Exhibition site built for EXPO in Astana will continue to transform one of the youngest capital cities in the world.

The theme was thus split into the following three subthemes:. The Expo buildings were centred around Nur-Alem — an impressive glass-covered spherical building with a diameter of 80 metres, making it the largest spherical building in the world. Construction of the stunning landmark required 3, units of double-glazed windows, and it includes renewable generation capacity such as photovoltaic elements and two silent wind turbines, in line with the Expo theme.
Emanating from the central sphere were Expo Theme Pavilions 1 and 2, the Energy Best Practices Area, corporate pavilions, and cultural venues, with the International Pavilions forming the outer ring of the exhibition area.
In addition to the Kazakhstan national display on the ground floor, the sphere housed the Museum of Future Energy, with six forms of energy generation space, solar, wind, organic, kinetic and water being presented in detail on each floor, including live shows and interactive exhibits.
In the Energy Best Practices Area, more than 20 innovative technologies projects and policies from around the world were showcased, offering real-life solutions in favour of sustainable energy management, including an off-grid method of supplying oxygen using solar power to treat pneumonia, and paving that generates electricity by using the kinetic energy of passers-by walking on it.
Elsewhere on the Expo site, the focus on energy was the inspiration for unique art displays, dazzling light shows on the surface of Nur Alem, and a specially produced Cirque du Soleil production entitled REFLEKT , which was performed on the Expo site throughout the duration of the Expo.
Many pavilions offered interactive experiences to immerse visitors in their chosen theme. The Republic of Korea took visitors on a transformative journey, telling the story of the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy through animations, a live dance show and augmented reality.
