"The Theme Weeks are an initiative aimed at taking advantage of the characteristics of the Expo, where countries from all over the world gather in the same location for six months, to bring together wisdom and knowledge to solve global issues, to explore solutions through dialogue, and to create a future society together with the world where life can shine brightly. The themes will be a different global issue for each week. Not only the organizers but also Official Participants, the Japanese government and local governments, participants in Co-Creation Projects, Expo participants such as exhibiting companies, and local governments and industries from across Japan will all gather to discuss solutions in a "dialogue program" and "business exchange" for concrete action."
