EXPO 2025 Osaka

Designing the Society of Tomorrow

Osaka, Japan’s vibrant innovation hub, will host EXPO 2025 from 13 April to 13 October 2025 on the picturesque Yumeshima Island. Themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” the expo will tackle critical global challenges and present visionary solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future. With over 28 million visitors expected, EXPO 2025 will feature participation from more than 150 countries and organisations, offering a platform to showcase breakthroughs in health, well-being, and environmental sustainability. Businesses will find unparalleled opportunities to present pioneering ideas, particularly in biotechnology, renewable energy, and urban planning. Among the expo’s highlights is Myaku-Myaku, the official mascot designed by renowned illustrator Kouhei Yamashita.

Myaku-Myaku, a shapeshifter with a flowing blue body and a vibrant red, multi-eyed head, symbolises the steady pulse of life, culture, and wisdom passed through generations. The name “Myaku-Myaku” comes from a Japanese onomatopoeia meaning “steadily pulsing,” reflecting the expo’s themes of unity and innovation. With its friendly and dynamic nature, Myaku-Myaku embodies Osaka’s deep connection to water and its role as a hub for transformation.

Another standout feature is Japan’s smart city innovations, blending cutting-edge technology with traditional Japanese principles of harmony. Visitors can explore pavilions designed as living ecosystems, showcasing advancements such as vertical farming, hydrogen energy solutions, and AI-powered healthcare systems.

Osaka’s vision for EXPO 2025 is to redefine the blueprint for global development by uniting creativity, technology, and humanity. For top business leaders, it’s more than a showcase—it’s an invitation to collaborate, invest, and shape the future.
