From April 13 to October 13, 2025, Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (“Kansai” refers to Osaka and surrounding areas) will be held in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. This will be the third time an international exposition has been held in Osaka, following the Japan World Exposition Osaka 1970 and the International Garden and Greenery Exposition, Osaka, Japan, 1990.
The theme of Expo 2025 is “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” The theme is intended to make individuals think about how they want to live and how they can maximize their potential. It is also intended to drive co-creation by the international community in designing a sustainable society that supports individuals’ ideas of how they want to live. Moreover, to elaborate further on the discussion of “life” as the central piece of the Expo’s theme, three subthemes have also been established: “Saving Lives,” “Empowering Lives,” and “Connecting Lives.”
Furthermore, the concept of Expo 2025 is “People’s Living Lab.” Based on this concept, the Expo will endeavour to give a realistic picture of a future society not just through thought but also through action. This endeavour will begin before the Expo, by inviting diverse participants to come together with various initiatives in their respective positions and tackle challenges whose solution will help achieve the SDGs at or outside the Expo venue.
Additionally, positioning the Expo venue as a laboratory where new technologies and systems will be verified, the Expo will aim to raise it as a platform that will trigger the creation of innovations by diverse players and apply those innovations to real society. As part of this, efforts will be made toward realizing Society 5.0, which is positioned as one of Japan’s national growth strategies.
