Poland at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai

World Expositions

World Expositions are the largest and most prestigious global events, combining economic, promotional, cultural and tourist themes. Their scale is comparable to that of the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup. Since the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, which was the first, World Expositions have become for a period of six months, the Capital of the world , attracting crowds of visitors, from businessmen seeking new deals to tourists.

The upcoming Expo is set to take place from the 13th April to the 13th October 2025 in Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka Bay, Osaka, Kansai Region.

The Expo’s theme, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives” underlines the importance of bringing Nations and people together through global cooperation, beyond all divisions, so that everyone has the chance to lead a good life and have a better future. It is also meant to motivate people to think about how they want to live, and how they may maximise their potential.

Poland at Expo

The main arena where Poland will be presented will be the National pavilion with an area of nearly 1000 m². Its architecture reflects Poland’s motto “gene of creativity” and its value for the future of societies. Poland will be presented as a country, whose most valuable resource is its people, who are creative, open-minded, well educated, imaginative and brave in the way they think and work.

Poland’s motto at Expo is “Poland. Heritage that drives the future.” The Polish people have always built on their heritage, which inspires them to seek new answers to the challenges of the modern world.

Poland’s half-year presence at Expo will feature numerous business, cultural and scientific events, every day a recital of Chopin’s music is planned. The most important events include the official Opening Ceremony of Poland’s Pavilion, our 3rd of May Constitution Day ( we share the same Constitution day with Japan), as well as Poland National Day at Expo, The Polish-Japanese Export Forum and the Polish-Japanese Investment Forum. Every day, a recital of Chopin’s music will be held.

The economic programme

At the heart of Poland’s preparations for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, lies the Polish entrepreneur, and the Economic programme that will be implemented in cooperation with other business support institutions is a key element of the project.

Poland’s offer of cooperation is addressed to small and medium sized companies as well as large corporations, and involves promotional, organisational and financial support in their expansion on to Asian markets, and primarily the Japanese market.

The main initiatives under the Economic program include:

• the Partner Programme,
• a cycle of training programmes about the Japanese market,
