A Global Event Rich in History
The Osaka International Expo 2025 is part of a long tradition of world exhibitions, held approximately every five years around the globe. These events, under the auspices of the International Bureau of Exhibitions, provide countries with a platform to showcase their innovations and share their visions for the future. Since the first exhibition in London in 1851, these gatherings have significantly impacted technological and cultural progress. More recently, the Dubai edition in 2021-2022, themed "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future," and the Milan edition in 2015 with "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life," both left a lasting impression. In 2025, it will be Osaka's turn to carry the torch, nearly 50 years after hosting the 1970 expo.
Osaka: A Strategic Crossroad and National Importance
The organization of the World Expo is a crucial event for Japan. The country actively campaigned to host this edition amid intense international competition. Osaka won the bid in November 2018, surpassing cities like Ekaterinburg (Russia) and Baku (Azerbaijan), highlighting the strategic significance of this event for Japan. Hosting this expo represents an opportunity for Japan to reinforce its role as a global leader in innovation and sustainable development. By choosing the theme "Designing Future Society," the country emphasizes its ambitions to address global challenges through cutting-edge technologies, research on renewable energy, and solutions for a more inclusive society.
Yumeshima: A Symbolic Island
Yumeshima Island, where the event will take place, embodies Japan's transformation towards a sustainable and innovative future. This artificial island, once designed as an industrial zone, is now a symbol of the country's ecological and technological ambitions—a true green and smart hub. Located in Osaka Bay, the island will serve as an international showcase for innovations shaping the future, perfectly aligning the expo's objectives with ecological and digital transitions.
