Doha, Qatar: The LifeHub Pavilion at Expo 2023 Doha by Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) offers a visual journey designed to raise awareness about health, the environment, and technology.
This immersive space, equipped with cutting-edge technologies, invites visitors to explore our world through the lenses of four pivotal themes: climate change, sustainability, nutrition and wellness, and the marvels of science and technology, including the fascinating realm of Artificial Intelligence.
Located within the Innovation Centre of the International Zone, the pavilion is open daily from 10 am to 8 pm until March 28, 2024, with free admission for all visitors.
