Yesterday the Expo Team was invited to stop by Van der Linde Food-Catering-Events. One of our most important partners during Expo 2025 Osaka, they are tasked with the pavilion’s day-to-day operations, from guiding visitors to serving food and drinks, as well as running a souvenir shop. Together with Pavilion Director Jan-Paul Kroese FIH of course. Thank you Robin van der Schuyt and Hans van der Linde, for an amazing Japanese-inspired lunch. We can’t wait to see our hard work come together in Japan next spring!

Last week Thursday, DUJAT (Dutch & Japanese Trade Federation) invited us to the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam to speak about the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka. Aino Jansen gave a keynote presentation on the concept behind the pavilion, the themes covered by the Netherlands -- and how you can participate! Present were various Japanese companies, big and small, as well as Dutch businesses and institutions with strong ties to Japan. We'd like to thank Christa De Kemp and Jinn van Gastel for their hospitality, and look forward to meeting many of you in Osaka.

The construction of the Netherlands pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo has been introduced on the Yomiuri Shimbun's Yumeshima-Now website! Please take a look at the fixed-point photos of the Netherlands pavilion as it gradually takes shape. https://lnkd.in/g2eFsRig ===== 大阪・関西万博に出展する🇳🇱オランダのパビリオン✨ 工事の様子を読売新聞さんの写真特集、Yumeshima-Now のウェブサイトにてご紹介いただいています‼️ 次第に姿を現すオランダパビリオンの様子を定点写真でご覧いただけますので、是非ご注目下さい✨ https://lnkd.in/g2eFsRig #Road2Osaka #Expo2025 #CommonGround

Wow! The best way to see all the work being done in Osaka is this pavilion timelapse. Scroll down on the site to find an English-language explanation and the videos!

Earlier this week, on Yumeshima, the man made “island of dreams”near Osaka, the building of the Netherlands pavilion truly kicked off. 🇳🇱🇯🇵 Consul General Marc Kuipers inspects the wavy biocomposite panels that will form the exterior of the pavilion. They are meant to represent water, a key theme for the Netherlands. The steel structure shows the first outline of the pavilion. 🌊 A visit to the construction site is never complete without a group picture, this time with the crew from ASANUMA CORPORATION, who are carrying out this part of the build. 👷 We can’t wait to see this building come together!

The pavilion’s construction is well on track. But there’s still so much other work to be done, and people to connect with. To make space for new colleagues, meet with our partners, and ultimately receive guests, we’ve just opened a temporary office in Osaka! Of course we celebrated the opening in traditional Japanese fashion… We hope to meet you on this common ground very soon! A video tour is available on our Instagram.

Yes, we are hiring! Are you based in Japan, bilingual JP-ENG, and would you like to join our amazing team in Osaka? We are still accepting applicants for three PR and communications roles. Apply on LinkedIn via: https://lnkd.in/dt_m2uxt
