Bracco Gold Sponsor at Osaka Expo 2025
Ambassador Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka, and Diana Bracco, President and CEO of the Bracco Group, have signed a partnership agreement under which the company will be the Official Gold Sponsor of the Italy Pavilion.
At the Japanese World Expo, to be held from April 13 to October 13, 2025, the Bracco Group will be a key contributor on the themes of art, technology and medicine of the future. In addition to several scientific events organized by Bracco Japan, a ballet by the La Scala Academy on Italy's National Day in September has been planned, as well as the exhibition of the portrait of a young Japanese diplomat, Itō Mancho, painted in 1585 by Domenico Tintoretto.
"The partnership with the Bracco Group is meaningful given its broad focus on multiple areas at the Italian Pavilion. Together, we will collaborate on the arts, science and advanced technology – key themes that Italy aims to promote in order to expand and enhance its world image, in synergy with leading Italian companies," states Mario Vattani, Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka. "Thanks to Bracco, the portrait of the young diplomat, Itō Mancho, by Domenico Tintoretto, a symbol of the historic relations between our two countries, will be displayed at the Italy Pavilion. Bracco will also be present in the area dedicated to the individual, with scientific initiatives related to health and well-being, where it is a global leader."
"The theme chosen by Italy for its participation in Expo 2025 Osaka, Art Regenerates Life, represents a unique opportunity to showcase Italian excellence in culture, art, science and technology," says Diana Bracco, President and CEO of the Group, a top multinational in diagnostic imaging which has had a presence in the Land of the Rising Sun since 1992. "This will also be an important occasion for us because of the strategic importance Japan represents for Bracco. The widespread culture of prevention which exists throughout the whole country is undergirded by a very advanced health system, especially in the field of diagnostic imaging, serving a population with a long-life expectancy."
