--------------------------------------




Theme


The theme of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo is “Designing a Future Society where Life Shines Brightly.


This theme will enable each and every human being to think about the way they want to live their lives and realize their full potential, while promoting the co-creation by the international community of a sustainable society that supports this way of life.




Specifically, the following three sub-themes have been established


Saving Lives: Focuses on protecting and saving individual lives.


Empowering Lives: Focuses on enriching and expanding the possibilities of each individual's “life.


Connecting Lives: Focuses on connecting individuals, building communities, and enriching society.



Based on this theme and its sub-themes, the Osaka-Kansai Expo will embody initiatives such as health and medicine, carbon neutrality, and digitalization, and will bring together the world's wisdom and best practices in Osaka and the Kansai region to present solutions to various issues based on a diversity of values. We will also present solutions to various issues based on a diversity of values.


In recent years, people's values and lifestyles have become increasingly diverse, and technological innovation has made it possible for everyone to access and exchange information in quantities previously unimaginable.




In light of these developments, the Osaka-Kansai Expo will emphasize the following points


Respect for diverse values: Aiming to realize a society that embraces diversity, respecting each person's values and way of life.


Realization of a sustainable society: We will promote efforts to realize a sustainable society with consideration for the global environment.


Utilization of science and technology: We will utilize science and technology, such as AI and biotechnology, to enrich people's lives.


Collaboration with the international community: We will collaborate with countries around the world to solve global issues.


Based on these elements, the Osaka-Kansai Expo is expected to be a venue for presenting the ideal future society.
