Poland at World Expo 2025 is a fascinating journey into the world of creativity, innovations and suistanable development. Discover how the Polish “creativity gene” drives innovative solutions which shape our future.
We invite to discover how Poland inspires the world with its culture, technology and innovative ideas.
The leading theme of Poland’s participation in the Expo is – “Poland. Heritage that drives the future”. Poles reach to their heritage which inspires them to seek to search for answers to the challenges of the current world.
From the heritage of the Polish culture emerges the picture of steadfastness, openness, and solidarity, especially in difficult moments. The “creativity gene” that has been passed down through generations allows us to work towards a better future, supports flexibility in the face of unexpected global changes, and is a force-generating new idea of technological and social solutions. This idea is evident in the talent of Poles for finding new opportunities and paying attention to well-being that has its source in nature and constant creation.
The main arena of presentation of Poland at Expo will be the Poland Pavilion with an area of nearly 1000 m². The architecture represents the motto of the Polish “gene of creativity” and its value for the future of societies. The Poland Pavilion will be located near the Water World, which is one of the sub-themes of the Exposition – “Saving Lives”.
The architectural design is based on the use of wood, with an organic form thanks to arches and curves. The form resembles a spreading wave of Polish creativity and innovation – no border is a barrier for innovative ideas to spread and influence faraway lands, or for knowledge gained abroad to return to the nation’s gravitational centre.
The multi-faceted journey through the exhibition of the Poland Pavilion will be enriched by the creative legacy of Fryderyk Chopin. The works of this eminent Polish classical composer will also be performed during the planned cycle of piano recitals in the Pavilion’s concert room.
The half-year presence of Poland at the Expo will feature numerous cultural and scientific events, including daily Chopin recitals, with the most important ones including:
(coinciding with the Japanese Constitution Memorial Day)
Cultural events as part of Poland’s participation in the Expo will take place both in the Poland Pavilion, on the Expo site and in the city of Osaka. Classical and contemporary music, dance and visual arts will be promoted.
The Poland Pavilion at Expo 2025 is a unique space that is the main arena for presenting the country. Discover an architectural concept inspired by nature and creativity. The design by talented architects connects the past with modernity, offering a unique sightseeing path. Each stage of a journey allows one to discover new perspectives and experiences which connect Polish culture, science and technology.
Pavilion websitePoland Pavilion at the World Expo in Osaka was honored with one of the most prestigious awards granted by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). During the ceremonial BIE Day, held on October 12, 2025, on the Shining Hat stage on Yumeshima Island in Osaka, Poland received the BIE Gold Award for its exhibition design in the category “Self-Built Pavilions, Type A.”
The award recognizes the efforts of many individuals who worked to create a space where art, technology, science, and emotions converge. The BIE jury appreciated not only the cohesive and engaging visitor journey but also the originality of the exhibition and the significance of the message conveyed by the Poland Pavilion’s motto: “Poland. Heritage that drives the future.”
As the creators of the concept explain: “The installations, developed in collaboration with artists, create a unique space where heritage blends with the future, and tradition intersects with innovation. Our concept is based on an authentic and living part of Polish heritage – herbs. Through the subtle integration of contemporary technology, traditions and craftsmanship gain a ‘magical’ dimension, while the driving force of the exhibition becomes the visitors themselves, who not only observe but actively co-create the Pavilion’s space. Guests can genuinely experience our message without feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated.”
The visitor journey captivated Expo guests every day for six months, unfolding a beautiful story about Poland.
Poland was also honored with two prestigious awards: a Bronze in the category “Best Medium Pavilion” and a Silver in the category “Best Exhibition / Display” for the installation “Plantation of Ideas.”
„Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai is a great chance to showcase Poland as a modern country that enjoys a dynamically growing economy which implements many innovations and new technologies. Poland’s participation in this global event is also an opportunity to present how our legacy dovetails with modernity and how tradition shapes our future. Feel invited to visit the Poland Pavilion and to take part in our economic and cultural events.”
Commissioner General of the Polish Section Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai
