Austria's highlight on the Expo 2025: Future and innovation in focus!
Vienna, Österreich - The Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, opened its doors on April 13, 2025 and will take place until October 13, 2025. With the motto "Designing Future Society for our Lives", the event presents itself as a platform for innovation and global exchange. Austria is represented with its own pavilion, which is under the credo "Composing the Future". The Austrian appearance costs 21.5 million euros, with three quarters of the financing from the public sector and a quarter from the Chamber of Commerce.
The pavilion, planned by BWM Designers & Architects and implemented by the Nüssli Group, extends over 800 square meters. A striking feature is a sculptural "note band" made of wood, which serves as an eye -catcher and symbolizes the connection of music with innovation and future topics. In addition, around 90 lighthouse projects are presented in the “Innovation Lab Austria”, which focus on the innovative strength and the sustainable design of Austria.
economic focus and cultural networking
Minister of Economics Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer emphasizes the importance of tradition, culture, innovation and high -tech for Austria. Expo should not only present the country as a tourism destination, but also strengthen networking with Japan and the expansion of business relationships in the East Asian area. Austria relies on economic priorities such as automotive, renewable energies, semiconductor, food industry, artificial intelligence and technology, lifesciences as well as sustainable building.
The participation of around 160 countries, regions and international organizations in Expo underlines its worldwide importance. The event offers an opportunity to discuss innovative approaches to cope with global challenges and strengthen international cooperation. These collaborations are not only for Austria, but also for the entire European Union of central relevance.
international cooperation in research and education
In a broader context, international cooperation in education, science and research is crucial for innovative ability in Germany and Europe. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) pursues a future strategy based on the principles of human dignity, fundamental rights and democracy. Cooperations are sought both within the European Union and with countries outside of Europe, with the focus on the confession to international order and freedom of science and research.In 2022, the BMBF promoted international cooperation in education and research with 1.335 billion euros and supported 2278 international projects. These efforts expand the perspectives for innovative approaches and the exchange of knowledge, which can create new opportunities for Austria in connection with major events such as the Expo 2025.
The Expo in Osaka thus offers a variety of opportunities to present Austria's innovative strength and cultural diversity of an international public and to deepen existing and new partnerships. Detailed information can be found in the reports from vienna.at and bmbf .
