France at the Osaka World Expo
In 2025, the Osaka World Expo promises to be a major event where innovation, culture, and technology come together to shape the future. Following the previous World Expo in Osaka in 1970, the Kansai capital is once again hosting this unique experience. From April 13 to October 13, visitors can look forward to an unforgettable journey of discovery.
The French Pavilion
France is taking part in the Osaka World Expo with a pavilion themed "A Hymn to Love"—love for oneself, others, and nature. Against a backdrop of technological and ecological innovation, France will showcase its expertise, values of solidarity, and commitment to a sustainable future. The pavilion draws attention with its interactive installations, immersive exhibitions, and rich cultural heritage. It also benefits from the support of four ambassadors: actresses Sophie Marceau and Léa Seydoux, judo champion Teddy Riner, and rugby player Antoine Dupont.
The Monaco Pavilion
The Principality of Monaco shares with Japan the characteristic of being a long-standing constitutional monarchy ruled by a sovereign family. Just a few steps from the French Pavilion, the Monaco Pavilion offers visitors a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the Principality. Under the theme "Taking Care of Wonder," Monaco will present its sustainable initiatives and futuristic projects in a luxurious and bold setting. It's a true journey through Monegasque excellence and a fascinating preview of the Mediterranean's future.
Expo 2025: A Vision of the Future
With the theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," the Osaka Expo positions itself as a global event. Located on Yumeshima, a man-made island in the heart of Osaka, the Expo will gather more than 150 participating countries to address key global challenges such as sustainable development, energy transition, mobility, and emerging technologies. Scheduled performances, artistic showcases, and cultural events will further enrich this one-of-a-kind experience. It’s a chance to explore the latest innovations and engage in international exchange.
