🇫🇮 FINNISH COMPANIES TO SHOWCASE SOLUTIONS FOR GREEN TRANSITION AT OSAKA WORLD EXPO

Finnish companies have introduced a wide variety of green products and solutions that can help to reach the shift towards economically sustainable growth in the future. The next World Expo held in Osaka in 2025, brings together about 180 countries and thousands of companies. Finland shares a pavilion together with other four Nordic countries in Osaka Expo. The pavilion serves as a unique event platform for companies to showcase their services and technologies for six months starting from April 2025. One of the Nordic Pavilion’s main themes is the Green Transition, strongly linked to the World Expo’s overarching theme, Designing Future Society for Our Lives.

Finland will emphasize the innovations and solutions from various fields that support the green transition at the event. Japan is Finland’s second-largest trading partner in Asia, and Japanese society is actively seeking partners to implement the transition towards a more sustainable society. Japan aspires to reach their Society 5.0 plan with the help of international partnerships. Relationships are crucial in Japan, and by participating Expo 2025 Osaka, Finland and the Nordic countries demonstrate their support for one of Japanese society’s most significant initiatives. This will not be unnoticed.

New business opportunities are also available for small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly through the clusters built around Business Finland’s and project’s themes. Business Finland operates Finland’s participation at the Nordic project.

“Finnish companies should take advantage of this unique opportunity to participate the World Expo.
