The World EXPO 2025, held in Osaka, Japan, stands as a unique call to action—bringing together global challenges and opportunities on a single platform to address a fundamental question: What kind of society do we aspire to live in? Will technology serve humanity, or will humanity serve technology? EXPO 2025 represents humanity’s most ambitious experiment in seeking answers to these essential questions.
Expo 2025: Human-Centered Innovation
As a meeting point of art and intellect, this global project focuses on the pressing themes of sustainable development, digital life, and ecological harmony. The main theme is structured around three conceptual pillars:
Saving Lives — exploring the integration of healthcare, medicine, biology, and artificial intelligence.
Empowering Lives — addressing education, social inclusion, and gender equality.
Connecting Lives — fostering synergy among digital infrastructure, transportation, ecology, and culture.
Each of these directions places the human being at its core — because the future of technology is not about machines, but about a renewed understanding of what it means to be human.
Uzbekistan Pavilion: “Garden of Knowledge” — A Harmony of Intellectual Reflection, Human Connection, and Cultural Exchange
At EXPO 2025, Uzbekistan presents the concept “Garden of Knowledge: A Laboratory for a Future Society” The pavilion, designed by Studio KO Asia, embodies harmony between nature and innovation. Constructed from natural materials — clay, brick, and sugi cedar wood — it evokes a sense of ecological balance and authenticity.
In its virtual segment, visitors are invited to explore the digital memory of the Aral Sea — an immersive AI-assisted 3D reconstruction that illustrates both the disappearance and regeneration of water resources.
The pavilion’s most profound message lies beyond environmental awareness: it promotes the idea of cultural sustainability, reminding humanity of the timeless truth that caring for nature is, ultimately, caring for ourselves.
EXPO 2025: A Global Laboratory of Ideas
EXPO 2025 stands apart from its predecessors. While EXPO 2020 Dubai primarily focused on technological innovation, Osaka 2025 takes on a more philosophical dimension — a platform where humanity seeks to rediscover itself. National pavilions bring together diverse disciplines such as artificial intelligence, bioengineering, ecology, art, and the philosophy of well-being.
The EXPO site will later be transformed into Yumeshima Smart City, envisioned as a future hub for Osaka’s green technologies.
Uzbekistan’s participation brings an Eastern perspective to EXPO 2025: sustainability is not merely a question of energy or ecology — it is a matter of spiritual balance. Preserving nature, safeguarding cultural heritage, and valuing creativity are equally essential components of a future- oriented society.
At EXPO 2025, humanity undertook its greatest experiment — to build the future without losing sight of its essence. In this process, Uzbekistan participated not as a mere observer, but as an active voice in the global conversation about the world to come
