FAQ
With its theme “Designing Future Societies for our Lives,” Expo 2025 will become a key platform for reaching the SDGs by 2030. It is also intended to drive co-creation by the international community in designing a sustainable society that supports individuals’ ideas of how they want to live.
Switzerland will showcase excellence in innovation and creativity through three major themes shaping the exhibition and event program: Augmented Human, Life, and Planet. The pavilion will serve as a significant platform to position Switzerland as an innovative and reliable partner, extending a hand to tackle major global challenges alongside other nations.
The themes “Augmented Human,” “Life,” and “Planet” were chosen based on a survey conducted in both Japan and Switzerland. This survey, which involved public and private stakeholders, examined a wide range of topics where Switzerland excels and which are highly relevant to the Japanese audience. From these results, the three most compelling themes were identified and subsequently approved by parliament.
The anime “Heidi, Girl of the Alps” is a beloved icon in Japan. As a well-known character, Heidi will be a key ambassador for our pavilion, featured prominently throughout the visitor experience. From the entrance to the Heidi Café, visitors will have multiple opportunities to explore the history of this Swiss character and her enduring impact on Switzerland’s image.
As the Expo is a platform for sharing expertise on a sustainable future, our aim is to contribute to this dynamic by building a pavilion with the lowest possible environmental impact, thanks in particular to a very light membrane for the spheres, that weighs no more than 400kg – just 1% of a conventional building shell. “Our exhibition structure for Osaka will be the lightest ever built by Switzerland for a World Expo,” says General Commissioner Manuel Salchli.
The specific innovations are currently being selected. Please find below some subjects that will be highlighted:
AUGMENTED HUMAN Exhibition: 13.04-10.06.2025

Throughout the Expo’s duration, Switzerland’s rich cuisine will be celebrated through a variety of regional dishes. It will include a selection of premium Swiss wines from our partner Swiss Wine Promotion, beers, spirits, cocktails, and mocktails carefully curated to complement the flavors of our dishes. The dishes will emphasize the spirit of sharing, central to Swiss gastronomy: Guests can enjoy Swiss cheese selections such as raclette, sliced veal with rösti potatoes, and Malakoff beignets. For dessert, chocolate fondue, Swiss meringue, and various cakes.
