In evaluating the concept, aspects such as the innovativeness of the Czech pavilion's design, the structuring of the budget proposal, the level and form of involvement of Czech companies, the coherence of the concept, and its feasibility in terms of the timeline will be assessed, as well as the alignment of the concept with the thematic focus of the exhibition or the proposal for the accompanying program for the Czech participation.

The Czech Republic is presenting itself as a country of nature, science, and innovations. The main theme of the Czech exhibit is the Solar Air Water Earth Resource (S.A.W.E.R.) system, which uses solar energy to produce water from the air to irrigate the garden around the Czech pavilion.
