The curtain fell on Expo 2025 Osaka this week, marking the end of a six-month global celebration of sustainability and technological progress. Over 25 million visitors explored pavilions from 158 countries and regions, alongside seven international organizations, making it one of Asia's most attended world expositions in recent history.
Highlights included immersive exhibits addressing climate solutions and smart city development, with the China Pavilion earning particular recognition. The Bureau International des Expositions awarded it gold for exhibition design among large self-built pavilions, praising its creative interpretation of ecological civilization themes.
Organizers emphasized the event's role as a platform for cross-border collaboration, particularly in clean energy and circular economy initiatives. 'This expo wasn't just about showcasing ideas – it planted seeds for tangible international partnerships,' remarked one participating delegate during the closing ceremonies.
