Designing Future Society and Innovative Technologies at the Osaka-Kansai Expo
The Osaka-Kansai Expo is set to open in April 2025. World expositions were festivals that showcased national prestige and competed in science and technology until the 20th century, but their role has transformed in the 21st century. Today, their role is to address complex global social issues by uniting countries, regions, and generations in discussions, co-creation, and collaboration. The theme of the Osaka-Kansai expo is "Designing a Future Society Where Life Shines." We will explore the universal question of life for humanity and consider how the power of technology can influence it.
