We’re excited to share some big news with you: Savino Del Bene is an official Bronze Sponsor of the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2025. The Expo will be held in Osaka, Japan, and will run for six months starting on April 13, 2025. With the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” the Expo is set to be a central platform for an exchange that will cross sectors, industries, and cultures.
During the opening of the Italian Pavilion, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani emphasized the vital importance of international trade and cross-border collaboration: “Japan is already Italy’s third-largest trading partner in Asia, after China and India: in 2024, bilateral trade reached €12.6 billion, with Italian exports hitting a record €8.2 billion. These results can be further strengthened, also thanks to opportunities like Expo and the exceptionally strong bilateral political dialogue, as demonstrated by the recent state visit of the President of the Republic to Tokyo”.
What to Know About Expo 2025
About Expo 2025 Osaka
Expo 2025 Osaka, officially known as Nippon Kokusai Hakurankai or 大阪・関西万博 (Ōsaka–Kansai Banpaku), is organized by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). The Expo will welcome millions of visitors over 184 days. With sub-themes of Saving Lives, Empowering Lives, and Connecting Lives, it aims to inspire solutions for the future and support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
About the Italian Pavilion
The Italy Pavilion will serve as an outpost of the Italian productive and artistic landscape in one of the richest areas of Asia, a region that already maintains strong ties with Italy. This presents significant potential for growth and benefits for participating companies. A study by the Polytechnic University of Milan estimates that Italian exports to Japan and East Asia could grow by over 20%, resulting in more than €600 million in new opportunities. The Holy See Pavilion will be featured within the Italian Pavilion.
