Chasing the Sun
The Australia Pavilion theme “Chasing the Sun” explores Australia’s unique energy, our diverse and warm people, our talent and creativity, and our stunning natural environment. To chase the sun is to dream big and maximise our potential for an inclusive future society.
Designing the Australia Pavilion
Designed by Australian architecture design firm Buchan, the pavilion is inspired by the flowering blossom of the iconic Australian eucalyptus tree. The eucalyptus tree, with its many shapes and colours, represents the diversity and dynamism of Australian people. The eucalyptus blossom reflects the vibrancy of our modern Australian society.
Inside the Australia Pavilion, visitors will embark on a one-of-a-kind immersive adventure following the sun across Australia. This multisensory experience will allow visitors to hear the sounds of our unique fauna, gaze into the night sky, and celebrate our ocean environment, while also helping visitors to understand First Nations’ connection to Country over tens of thousands of years and how this ancient knowledge can help us build a future society.
Any future society must protect the natural heritage of the past. Australians envisage a future where connection and care are central to a happy and healthy life.
The pavilion will host an array of dynamic Australian cultural events and a strategic business program designed to showcase Australia to the world.
Our values
Our values will be reflected throughout the Australian pavilion, our exhibition and events.
Sustainability
Sustainable practices and innovations will be included throughout the Australian pavilion and our events. Such as the repurposed and re-usable materials, including elements from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, being used by our builder, ES Global to construct the Australian pavilion.
First Nations priorities
Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuous cultures. The contributions, perspectives, experiences and interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been embedded and will be represented throughout the Australian pavilion and our programs.
Gender equality and inclusion
Australia’s vibrant society is a tapestry of cultures, backgrounds and ideas.
At Expo 2025 Osaka, we will embrace our differences, champion equality, and celebrate diversity. Social, economic and political inclusion are essential to sustainable global progress.
Regional collaboration
Together we are powerful! As we confront some of the biggest challenges in history and work towards the Sustainable Development Goals, collaboration and cooperation is the only way forward.
At Expo 2025 Osaka, Australia will create opportunities to share ideas, showcase solutions and forge new partnerships. Our VIP space will host a six month program of events and discussions aimed at strengthening networks, exploring opportunities, and fostering collaboration around global challenges.
