On November 18, 2007, the Shanghai Bureau of the World Expo
Coordination signed an agreement with the Crystal Digital
Technology Co., Ltd (Crystal CG), officially naming the latter as
its "Designated Multimedia Design Service Provider". As the first
project sponsor of the Shanghai World Expo, the Crystal CG is also
the first multimedia sponsor in the expo's history.
"Expo online" is a great innovation of the Shanghai World Expo.
While audiences at the expo site may personally experience this
splendid event, Internet users all around the globe can also enjoy
the amazing performances and wonderful exhibitions via the Web. Lu
Zhenggang, Board Chairman of Crystal CG, is confident that by using
multimedia technologies "Expo online" is fully capable of providing
users a virtual expo as spectacular as the real one. "Users will
feel as if they were also on the expo site," said Lu Zhenggang.
Smooth progress has been made in the market development of the
Shanghai World Expo. To date, Expo 2010 has six global partners and
two senior sponsors.
