The event will show us how technology, creativity, and teamwork can change the world. Expo 2025 will be a six-month event on Yumeshima Island in Osaka. It will feature pavilions from 150+ countries, sharing creative ideas for a sustainable future and new technologies.
I am very excited about this international exhibition, and this is because I had the opportunity of visiting Expo 2020 Dubai quite a few times. Despite being uncertain if I will be able to visit Expo 2025, my excitement level is high, and I want to transfer this excitement to all the readers!
The Vision Behind Osaka Expo 2025
The vision behind the World Expo 2025 is to address global challenges, such as environmental sustainability, overpopulation, and poverty. It will focus on UNO’s SDGs to make our societies better. This event is a symbol of peace as multiple countries collaborate just for the sake of peace of humanity, forgetting war and destruction. This event can be a beacon of hope in the current situation, where the lives of innocent humans in some parts of the world are being destroyed.
