ITER @ the World Expo
The World EXPO opened its gates yesterday in Osaka, Japan, for the second time in its history and the ITER project was present.
Whereas the 1970 Osaka Expo—Asia's first ever—showcased Japan's rapid economic growth, the 2025 edition aims to unite the international community around the forward-looking theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives." Organizers have built the six-month event around the idea of creating a forum where people and innovations from around the world come together in an effort to address "issues facing humankind on a global scale."
"A World Expo is a place where new technologies and products are born," according to organizers, who cite elevators (1853, New York), the telephone (1876, Philadelphia), moving sidewalks (1970, Osaka) and automated defibrillators (2005, Aichi) as examples.
The ITER project has set up in the International Organizations Pavilion, where it has a prominent stand presenting the promise of fusion energy and the effort underway globally to master this promising and transformative energy source.
Half-way through the six-month exhibition, on 13 July, ITER will host a special FUSION DAY in the National Day Hall with presentations, animations and video screenings.

EXPO 2025 Osaka runs through 13 October 2025.
