Our vision at Expo Osaka 2025
Designed as a fully circular building, our pavilion features an anthropogenic (‘man-made’) sun. It symbolises the rising sun – a future empowered by collaboration and energy that is clean and unlimited: a new dawn. Visitors are introduced to new innovative solutions in the field of energy transition.
Towards a circular system
Energy plays a pivotal role in our lives. As energy is at the heart of everything we need and do, we must fast track the transition to clean and renewable energy. Today, the world is facing two urgent challenges when it comes to energy transition: scarcity of raw materials and the end of our dependency on fossil fuels. The earth is a closed system, nothing new is added. So we need to be extremely careful with what we have.
Circularity is a system that allows us to make limited materials available limitlessly. Next to that, we make use of unlimited energy sources, such as sun and wind energy, as well as energy derived from water. With this transition, we can create a new dawn. At the Netherlands pavilion, we introduce innovations and technologies that we expect will have a great impact on our way of lives. These will contribute to a new world with cleaner energy, allowing us to make strides towards a more circular system.
