In the heart of Cairo, Egypt, an extraordinary convergence of ideas and innovation is set to unfold at the Intra-African Trade Fair 2023. Amidst this grand assembly of visionaries and entrepreneurs, Oasis Brands proudly unveils the “Malawi Pavilion”, a masterpiece of modernity and creativity, dedicated to showcasing the beauty and rich investment potential that Malawi has to offer.
This project marks a significant milestone in positioning Malawi as a prime destination for investment. This exceptional endeavor is the result of a collaborative effort between Oasis Brands, the German Development Corporation, Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC), the Export Development Fund (EDF) and the Malawi Government’s ministry of Trade and Industry.
Inspiration and Philosophy behind the Design.
The design of the Malawi Pavilion is not merely an architectural feat; it’s a journey through creativity and curiosity. Our primary inspiration was to capture the imagination of all who set foot inside. We wanted visitors to feel a sense of wonder and curiosity, compelling them to explore and discover the richness that Malawi has to offer. The pavilion is designed to be a conversation starter, igniting interest and intrigue.
Earthly and Wooden Incorporation
The colors and materials used in the pavilion design are a reflection of the rich natural landscape of Malawi. Earthy tones dominate the palette, drawing inspiration from the brown earth, lush forests, and fertile soil that are emblematic of this African nation. Wooden elements have been incorporated to symbolize the abundance of forests and trees in Malawi, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that connects visitors to nature.
Patterns and Flag Colors
Intricate patterns and the vibrant colors of the Malawian flag play a prominent role in the design. These patterns not only add visual interest but also celebrate the cultural heritage of Malawi. The flag colors—black, red, and green—are woven throughout the pavilion, embodying the spirit of the nation and evoking a sense of national pride and unity.
Modern Aesthetics
To set the Malawi Pavilion apart from the ordinary, Oasis Brands has seamlessly integrated modern aesthetics into the design. The pavilion stands as a symbol of Malawi’s readiness to embrace the future while cherishing its rich heritage. The contemporary architectural elements offer a fresh perspective on Malawi’s potential, highlighting the nation’s ability to harmoniously blend tradition and innovation.
Virtual Reality Tour: A Technological Marvel
One of the most remarkable features of the Malawi Pavilion is the groundbreaking Virtual Reality (VR) tour. This technological marvel immerses visitors in the beauty and diversity of Malawi’s landscapes and culture. By integrating technology into the pavilion, we have created a bridge between the physical and the virtual, allowing people to experience Malawi’s wonders in an entirely new way. The VR tour embodies the spirit of progress and transformation that Oasis Brands stands for.
A Spectacular Showcase
The Malawi Pavilion is not just a structure; it’s a living testament to the unique culture, trade opportunities, and investment prospects that this beautiful African nation has to offer. With 21 delegates representing a wide array of industries, including banking, agriculture, and luxury goods, the pavilion mirrors the diversity and richness of Malawi’s economic landscape. Delegates such as Nico Group, Standard Bank, Maleta Gems, H Adam Agro, Mzuzu Coffee, Kwanza Chocolate, UNDP, and Planters Pride Limited, to name a few, have come together to participate in this extraordinary event.
Amenities for Success
The Malawi Pavilion has been meticulously designed to offer a hospitable and productive environment for visitors, delegates, and exhibitors. Its facilities include meeting rooms, a relaxing lounge area, and a delightful coffee bar. These amenities are strategically placed to facilitate networking, foster business discussions, and create a conducive atmosphere for trade negotiations. The combination of Malawi’s warm hospitality and the pavilion’s amenities will undoubtedly make it a hub of activity at the Intra African Trade Fair.
