Spain's participation in the 2025 Osaka Expo represents a unique opportunity to showcase the innovation, creativity, and sustainability that characterize our country. With the theme "The Kuroshio Current," the Spain pavilion seeks to connect with visitors through an immersive experience that celebrates the relationship between Spain and the sea.
Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), a public entity responsible for managing Spain's presence at World and International Exhibitions, organises the Spain Pavilion and Spain's activities at Expo Osaka 2025. In 2023, AC/E held a public competition, and the architecture and design firms Néstor Montenegro, Enorme Studio, and Smart and Green Design were awarded the commission to create the Spain Pavilion at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka.
