The Coca-Cola Company has signed an agreement to become a global sponsor of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China. The exhibition in Shanghai is estimated to become the biggest exposition ever held, and it is being billed as the largest public event in human history.

Coca-Coca says it is the first U.S. company to have independently become global partner of the World Expo and also the only international company committed to sponsor the four biggest public events in China's history: The 2007 Special Olympics, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 2008 Paralympic Games, and the 2010 Shanghai Expo, showcasing Coca-Cola as the leading beverage company in China.
