Expo 2025 Osaka closed with Germany's sustainable pavilion winning top honors and acclaim.

Expo 2025 Osaka ended today after 184 days, concluding with the German Pavilion, "Wa! Germany," recognized by the BIE with a Sustainability Award and a Silver Award for Theme Development. The pavilion, managed by Koelnmesse and showcasing circular economy principles, hydrogen tech, and urban agriculture, attracted over three million visitors. More than 90% said their expectations were exceeded, and the pavilion’s mascot, Circular, was voted the most popular. The project was delivered by a German-Japanese consortium, with Koelnmesse calling it a benchmark in international exhibition design.
