The Commissioner General for Italy at
Expo Osaka 2025 Mario Vattani will be a guest of the fifth
edition of Phygital Sustainability Expo, the 2024 European
institutional summit on sustainability and technological
innovation.
Vattani will present the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka
on Wednesday, June 5, at 13:30 local time in Rome.
The presentation will be livestreamed on RaiNews.it and on
Today.it.
"The theme of Expo 2025 Osaka is 'Designing Future Society
for Our Lives', an invitation to reflect on today's challenges
to create tomorrow's world, which will be experienced more by
young people", explained Vattani.
"The Italian Pavilion, planned by Mario Cucinella, will be an
outpost of the Italian production system in which 'Italian
know-how' and the innovation of our creative industries are
promoted on Expo's global stage.
"It is worth remembering that in 2023 exports of our fashion
products towards eastern Asian countries were worth about 5.5
billion euros, of which nearly one billion in Japan, with a
double digit increase on the previous year.
"Made in Italy is a synonym of beauty and well-made,
high-quality" products, which are "necessary in order to talk
about sustainability", said Vattani.
Expo 2025 Osaka is scheduled to take place in Japan from
April 13 until October 13 next year.
Some 160 nations will participate in the event, which is
expected to attract about 30 million visitors mainly hailing
from Japan and Asian countries.
Phygital Sustainability Expo, an international event
dedicated to the sustainable transition of Italian-made
products, takes place on June 4 and 5, 2024, in Rome, at the
Trajan's Markets of the Imperial Fora.
Partners include the European Parliament and the European
Commission, the Italian foreign ministry, the Italian Trade
Agency (ITA) and the department for major events, tourism, sport
and fashion of the City of Rome.
