An invitation to the international community to propose concrete solutions for the creation of a sustainable society, which supports the ideas of individuals and improves people's quality of life.
The venue: the artificial island of Yumeshima
Expo 2025 Osaka will take place on the artificial island of Yumeshima. Located in Osaka Bay, it offers a beautiful view of the Seto Inland Sea. With a surface area of 1.55 km2, the site will feature a central pavilion area flanked by water to the south and vegetation to the west.
Expo, Japan and Osaka
The link between Expo, Japan and Osaka can be traced back to more than half a century.
The first World Expo organised in Osaka was in 1970. It was the first international exhibition held in Asia. Japan introduced itself at the event as a country that, experiencing intensive economic growth, was eager to recover from the severe damage suffered during World War 2. Expo was a highly successful event in 1970. Indeed, it marked the rise of Japan and Asia to symbols of economic growth and cutting-edge technology.
Each Expo interpreted its time and faced the challenges of its era. For six months Osaka will be transformed into an international showcase for participating countries to present their best ideas and projects in the field of tangible and intangible infrastructure developed on the themes of the World Expo.
Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025
For its participation in Expo 2025, Italy has chosen, among other things, a beautiful theme: Art Regenerates Life. The intertwining of beauty, art, landscape, creativity and innovation is the essential trait of our national identity, and will allow us to present our excellence to the world.
The must-see Pavilion
Italy Pavilion is the must-see pavilion in Expo 2025 Osaka, the one “worth queuing for”. This is the outcome of the survey conducted on the web by the magazine Josei Jishin using the “Freeasy” tool, which interviewed people aged between 20 and 69 who have visited the World Expo in the almost two months since the event began. In second place in the ranking was the US pavilion, while in third place was the Japanese pavilion.
