Announcement of the Nordic Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka
The Nordic Pavilion, a joint pavilion across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, is proud to announce the name and concept of the Nordic Pavilion, marking a significant milestone towards EXPO 2025 Osaka. The pavilion is named "Nordic Circle" (Japanese : ノルディック・サークル). This name embodies a vision to foster new connections and advance sustainable progress, inviting the global community to join in this collective journey.
The concept goes beyond showcasing Nordic societies' intricate narrative of life, deeply rooted in values and a profound relationship with nature. It invites visitors on a transformative journey where trust and collaboration have always been integral, highlighting the Nordic countries' strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and global cooperation.
Celebrating achievements, sharing learnings, and exchanging ideas lie at the heart of our mission, reinforcing our belief in mutual trust and collective action to achieve ambitious goals and create a brighter future for all. The circular motif of the 'Nordic Circle' symbolizes sustainability and the circle of life, reflecting the perpetual motion and interconnectedness found in nature.
"The Nordic Circle represents our commitment to collaborative innovation and sustainable solutions," remarked Magnus Schöldtz, Chairman of the Nordic Board. "It symbolizes a space where we come together to celebrate achievements, share insights, and explore new ideas. Collaboration is one of our uniqueness and strength as joining together with 5 Nordic countries."
This initiative underscores our belief in mutual trust and collective action to achieve ambitious goals and create a brighter future for all. Together, the Nordic Pavilion aims to inspire meaningful progress and sustainable success globally.
Additionally, the logo reflecting the name and theme of "Nordic Circle" has been determined. This whirl-shaped design will be featured prominently in the pavilion's exhibitions, symbolizing connectivity and the dynamic essence of the Nordic Circle.
"We are honoured to unveil our concept alongside IPM and are steadfastly preparing for this momentous event," added Idar Kreutzer, Vice Chairman of the Nordic Board. "The 'Nordic Circle' epitomizes our unique collaboration among five nations, aiming to lead by example in global sustainability efforts."
The Nordic Pavilion is moving forward to welcome visitors in Osaka in April 2025.
