THE FUTURE IS...
UNDP sought to create a bold, immersive exhibition to showcase how emerging technologies like AI and data visualization can drive sustainable development.
The goal was to capture attention and spark dialogue at a major global environmental event. Translating this vision into a compelling physical experience required a partner with expertise in experiential design.
UNDP enlisted Overview Collective to develop the "The Future Is..." exhibition from concept to execution. We designed the entire exhibition environment, creating innovative ways to materialize UNDP's innovation-centric messaging.
