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.
