The Crown Princess opened the programme with a speech, which was broadcast digitally at Expo 2020. In her speech, The Crown Princess said:
I have seen on site, both in Sweden and here in the Emirates, how Swedish research and innovation can contribute to better health for all.
And just like all of you, I know from personal experience what good healthcare can mean; I know that it can mean everything.
