VU Amsterdam at the Osaka World Expo 2025

Building a Society Based on Wellbeing

The theme for the 2025 Osaka Expo is 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives’, focused on saving, empowering and connecting lives. The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam will be hosting a one-day event on the future of human wellbeing at the Dutch Pavilion in Osaka on Thursday, October 2nd.  

The event will encourage a global conversation on creating a society based on wellbeing, which is an idea that connects strongly with Japan’s Society 5.0 vision–a super-smart society focusing on human wellbeing in socio-tech progress–and the Netherlands’ focus on maximising human potential through wellbeing. 

The full-day event will bring together experts from various fields, policymakers, social entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to explore sustainable and scalable solutions for major global challenges. Through keynotes, pitches, interactive workshops, interactive exhibits, and a panel discussion, supported by digital tools, the event will produce valuable the basis for blueprints for new forms of collaborations and create new international partnerships.
