Singapore has revealed its theme and design for the Singapore Pavilion at the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan from April 13 to October 13, 2025.
With Where Dreams take Shape as the tagline, the Singapore Pavilion, or The Dream Sphere, aims to delight visitors with interactive multimedia and art installations featuring Singapore artists, as well as showcase the country’s food, culture and arts to further pique visitors’ interest in Singapore.
Kingsmen Exhibits has been appointed to design and produce the showcase for the Singapore Pavilion, while DP Architects will spearhead the architectural design.
Inspired by the ‘Little Red Dot’ – a term of endearment for Singapore – the genesis of the design is a physical manifestation of this into a larger-than-life experiential sphere, nestled in a dream-like cloudscape.
Led by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), Singapore’s participation at Expo 2025 on Yumeshima Island, situated near Osaka, presents a valuable opportunity to share the nation’s story.
Carrie Kwik, executive director, World Expo and special project, STB, said: “Singapore’s participation at Expo 2025 in Osaka serves as an important platform for Singapore enterprises and talents to be profiled on a global stage, and a chance for companies to enhance their brand visibility and engage potential business partners. We are proud to bring Singapore to Osaka and aim to have Singapore business missions visiting Japan to network and promote collaboration between Singapore companies and Japanese guests at our Singapore Pavilion.”
“Singapore and Japan enjoy robust and multifaceted ties,” shared Ong Eng Chuan, Singapore’s ambassador to Japan and commissioner general of the Singapore Pavilion.
“The strength of these ties is evident in Singapore’s strong support for the Expo 2025 Osaka, including being the first country to begin construction on our pavilion. As we approach the 60th Anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Singapore in 2026, Singapore’s presence at the Expo 2025 Osaka will reinforce our strong bilateral ties and benefit both our countries.”
Expo 2025 Osaka is expected to attract more than 28 million visitors over 184 days. Themed Designing Future Society for Our Lives, Expo 2025 Osaka will be Japan’s third Expo, having hosted the Osaka Expo in 1970 and Aichi Expo in 2005.
