About EXPO COMMONS

EXPO COMMONS is a platform that utilizes virtual space where people around the world think, meet together, exchange opinions, and engage in communication and community activities to take individual action in order to solve social issues.

About the EXPO Co-creation project

The EXPO Co-creation project aims to create a movement in the world by providing opportunities for people around the world, including people engaging in the TEAM EXPO 2025 program, to think, meet together, exchange opinions and take individual action to solve social issues, and for everyone to participate in the Expo 2025 for realization of the future they envision. Each activity will be shared at the “EXPO COMMONS”, connecting active communities regardless of physical distance, with the aim of creating new actions. Although sponsorship has been sought as ‘Cyber Expo (tentative name)’, the ‘EXPO Co-creation office’ will be set up and the recruitment will continue from now as an “EXPO Co-creation project.”
