The Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, officially titled Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, is a World Expo sanctioned by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), held from April 13 to October 13, 2025, on Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka’s Konohana Ward. With the theme Designing Future Society for Our Lives, it aims to showcase global innovation through pavilions from 159 countries and regions, expecting 28 million visitors.
