00:00Designing future society for our lives, that's the core mission of Expo 2025 in Osaka.
00:09A bold theme explored through eight dedicated theme weeks.
00:12A concept launched in Dubai, now taken further.
00:16They are thinking big, really big here at the World Expo in Osaka.
00:20With a brand new format that aims to tackle some of our most important global challenges.
00:26Turning this event into a space for more fresh ideas and real actions.
00:31Let's have a look.
00:37The topics abroad, from co-created culture to future communities,
00:41essential needs, health, learning, peace, biodiversity and the sustainable development goals.
00:48Thinking in your heads, together, that's what makes a World Expo unique.
00:54It gives small nations and overlooked issues a global stage.
01:01Theme weeks help turn ideas into action.
01:09The goal? Sparking lasting awareness, long after the Expo ends.
01:14The idea is for the public to watch this content, feel something and let that spark change in the world.
01:21That, to me, is the true value and impact of the theme weeks.
01:27First up, co-creating cultures for the future.
01:30How can cultural heritage help heal divided societies?
01:33Japanese architect, So Fujimoto, designed the Grand Ring, the world's largest wooden structure,
01:41two kilometers around, 700 meters wide.
01:45This ring could be the symbol of the diversity and the unity together.
01:50So that's why I made this as a pure circle shape.
01:54The most simplest shape in the world, in a sense.
01:58All the national pavilions are within this ring, and then stay together to create our future.
02:07This junction of the columns and the beams is based on the traditional Japanese architecture,
02:12but reinforced by the metal pieces, so that this kind of scale is possible.
02:17And also, we can follow to the latest regulations against the earthquakes.
02:21Fujimoto also designed the Forest of Tranquility at the center of the Expo.
02:30A symbol of harmony between people and nature.
02:34There, Argentinian artist, Leandro Ehrlich, presents his Infinite Garden.
02:39We need to reinforce and support diversity, diversity in terms of species,
02:48diversity in nature, and diversity in social context.
02:53Mirrors in this world are reflecting plants, are reflecting ecosystems,
02:58and when people go into the center, in the axis of the installation,
03:02what they see is themselves and others.
03:04So it's a work that, in a way, invites to encounter,
03:09which is what the expo, is the spirit of this expo, is about.
03:17Another highlight, a deep dive into manga and Japanese anime culture.
03:24The Minister of State for Cool Japan's strategy even made a special appearance,
03:28in costume, accompanied by his cosplay ambassador.
03:32Anime will be used as a gateway and starting point
03:36to go to the region and enjoy their food.
03:40I've been doing cosplay for 17 years.
03:45I love anime, games, and cosplay.
03:48And I want to share this pop culture with the world.
03:54It was also a chance to spotlight manga anime tourism,
03:58a real booming trend.
03:59Each year, in Japan, the sacred land of anime,
04:03we select 88 works.
04:05We then work with the local regions to revitalize these areas.
04:09Most of the time, anime takes place
04:12in the everyday living spaces of Japanese people.
04:16It's not a stereotypical Japan,
04:18but a life-sized, authentic Japan.
04:20I get to see places I usually only see in anime.
04:26It's amazing.
04:29Seeing all those manga,
04:31and the live performance,
04:34it made me feel like a kid again.
04:36How will we live together tomorrow
04:41in more connected, technological, and sustainable societies?
04:45The second theme week focused on the future of community and mobility.
04:49It covers urban issues such as smart cities or disaster prevention,
04:55but also transportation-related topics.
04:59There are also broader subjects,
05:01like space, the metaverse, and robotics.
05:05Economist Andres Rodriguez-Pose
05:07led thought-provoking talks
05:09on sustainable urban development.
05:11When we talk about sustainability,
05:14there's always a tendency to think
05:15that sustainability is about environment.
05:19And a green transition implies significant economic
05:22and social changes that need to be accepted by the population.
05:27If we don't have, let's say, an economic sustainability
05:29or we don't have a social sustainability,
05:32what we're going to have is that there's going to be a rejection.
05:37Post-disaster reconstruction was another key topic,
05:40including lessons from Fukushima.
05:42Seiichi Sayato, director of the Expo's co-creation program,
05:46introduced the concept of Fuku transformation.
05:50When a disaster or a tragic event occurs,
05:54it takes strength to overcome it.
05:56But also what's very important
05:58is not to return to the original state,
06:01but to go much, much further.
06:03I believe it's important for people
06:05who share the same philosophy
06:07and move at the same pace to come together.
06:10They shouldn't remain in isolated points,
06:14but be connected to one another
06:16to form a strong and effective whole.
06:22And all this has already led to innovations
06:24capable of responding to new disasters,
06:27like this robot,
06:28which was developed after the Fukushima accident.
06:31lives were at stake.
06:36Normally, robots should have intervened,
06:38but in reality, they didn't.
06:41So I decided to start a company
06:44to develop and market robots
06:47that could actually be useful
06:49in real-life situations.
06:51Beyond 5G showcases the next generation
06:56of wireless technology,
06:57smarter, faster, and more connected than ever.
07:00One striking example,
07:02communicating with the moon.
07:04I'm still in Osaka,
07:05and thanks to these technologies,
07:07I'm able to operate some robots
07:08on the moon in real time,
07:10just as if I was there myself.
07:13AI was front and center too.
07:16Kathy Hackle,
07:16often called the queen of the metaverse,
07:18took part in a panel
07:19on the next gen of digital communities.
07:23You're going to start to see more AI
07:25beyond just our phones and our computers.
07:27You're going to start to see it in glasses.
07:28You're going to see it in headphones.
07:30You're going to see it in a lot of different hardware.
07:32And in order for all this hardware
07:34to communicate with each other
07:35and for us to communicate with it,
07:37we're going to need connectivity
07:38that does not currently exist.
07:41A visionary with a practical edge,
07:43Kathy Hackle was impressed
07:44by the theme week's concept.
07:47It's not just about showcasing architecture
07:48or showcasing countries.
07:50It is also about bringing human ideas
07:53to the center of the future.
