With the start of 2025, the long-awaited Osaka World Expo is right around the corner, and Osaka is eagerly preparing to welcome millions of visitors. Starting from April 13th, countries will have exhibits in Yumeshima, Osaka, displaying their country’s cutting-edge innovations. If you’re considering a career change, there wouldn’t be a better time than now; Osaka’s international companies are hiring, starting with ZenGroup.
What is a World Expo?
World Expos have been held for over 170 years in numerous countries, with the purpose of impacting people worldwide and addressing current global issues. Acting as a bridge between citizens, governments, and businesses, the World Expo has helped display new technology, such as the improved safety “Otis Worldwide” Elevator (New York Exhibition, 1853) and the telephone (Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, 1876), which has improved lives.
The first world expo held in Asia was in 1970 in Osaka, and now 20 years after the last Expo in Aichi prefecture, the Kansai area invites the global audience again. Modern expos are organized with certain themes, and this year’s Osaka World Expo aims to save, empower, and connect lives.
