The 2025 World Expo is held in Osaka, Japan.
The Expo 2025 in Osaka, Kansai, Japan, runs from April 13 to October 13, 2025.
An international exposition will be held in Osaka in 2025 under the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” The expo site is located on Yumeshima Island, an artificial island in Osaka Bay.
Spain’s participation has been silenced, why?
On the 16 May marks the National Day of Spain, celebrated in Osaka, but without public information.
“Visit Spain Pavilion and attend the official ceremony to experience the occasion together! Official Ceremony to start: 11:00”
The Spanish investment in the Spanish pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka was €26 million. This amount was allocated to the pavilion’s construction. Expo 2025 Osaka will be held from April 13 to October 13, 2025, on Yumeshima Island, Osaka, Japan.
The Spanish pavilion was designed by a group of professionals, including an architect from the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party), and sought to avoid representing the colors of the Spanish flag in its design. The Osaka World Expo 2025 aims to “Design the society of the future and imagine a better tomorrow.”
The Spanish National Day at the Osaka Expo (although almost no one knows it). If you didn’t know, you’re not alone.
Despite the fact that the expo, which has attracted 158 countries, is expected to attract 28 million visitors by October, our country’s participation and its special day have gone unnoticed in most Spanish media. This isn’t so much the case in Japan, where a relationship as intense as it is surprising has been cultivated for decades, thanks to the love many Japanese have for flamenco and even zarzuela, which has its own association in Tokyo.
It is unclear why the Spanish government has not marketed Osaka 2025 in its own country, Spain, to justify a cost of nearly 100 million euros. However, the Spanish pavilion has attracted a lot of attention from the oriental market.
Spain’s presence at this universal exposition, organized by Acción Cultural Española (Spanish Cultural Action), an organization under the Ministry of Culture and chaired by José Andrés Torres Mora, former chief of staff to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has not gotten off to a good start. Even at the beginning of the preparations, this pavilion was embroiled in controversy when the design was awarded to the architectural firm of Néstor Montenegro, a PSOE official in the Madrid Group.
Furthermore, in the tender for the award of one of the services, there was an error in the data communicated to the Transparency Portal, according to Acción Cultural Española (Spanish Cultural Action), when a €1.7 million contract was awarded to the company GL Events before the deadline for submitting bids.
It wouldn’t surprise me that there will be discussions regarding Spanish participation after the expo is over. There are many inaccuracies that need to be explained.
