About the UK Pavilion
Expo 2025 is the next big moment in the UK/Japan relationship, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance UK's growth objectives and strengthen people-to-people connections. A comprehensive business programme will complement the soft power of UK creativity and culture and build on the economic partnerships announced at the 2+2 in March.
The UK Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025 will showcase the best of British innovation, creativity, and sustainability. With a focus on the Expo's theme, the UK Pavilion will highlight cutting-edge technologies, cultural heritage, and collaborative solutions for a better future.
Inspired by a child's toy building blocks, the UK Pavilion represents the culmination of little ideas that have the power to combine into world-changing innovations. Every idea, just like every simple building block, has the potential to grow into something great. Our pavilion, through an immersive experience, will showcase Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a place of opportunity welcoming the world's brightest minds to come together and build solutions to global challenges. Come Build The Future with us at the UK Pavilion!
