Osaka, Kansai, Japan, October 12, 2025 – The Indonesia Pavilion has been present at the Expo 2025 Osaka since April 13, 2025, carrying the theme “Thriving in Harmony: Nature, Culture, Future”, which embodies the spirit of building a balanced lifestyle, living harmoniously with nature for the advancement and sustainability of the planet. This theme aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Indonesia’s Vision 2045. The Indonesia Pavilion not only showcases the nation’s natural wealth and cultural diversity but also introduces Indonesia’s economic potential, investment opportunities, and cooperation prospects on the global stage. “Indonesia’s participation in the Expo is not merely about presenting an exhibition space; it is aimed at achieving broader goals such as enhancing Indonesia’s nation branding on the global stage, strengthening international cooperation, increasing investment, and promoting Indonesian tourism,” said Minister for National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Rachmat Pambudy during the Indonesia Pavilion Closing Ceremony at the Expo on Sunday (October 12).

Throughout the event, the Indonesia Pavilion successfully held over 104 business forums and one-on-one meetings, resulting in investment commitments totaling more than USD 28.3 billion. These achievements came from multiple agreements, including 20 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), 9 Letters of Intent, 2 Joint Venture Agreements, 1 Joint Statement, and 11 tourism package sales agreements. As the event nears its end, the Indonesia Pavilion has welcomed over 3.5 million visitors, surpassing its initial target of 2.8 million. This milestone was made possible thanks to the dedication of the liaison officers who served for six full months as the frontliners of the Pavilion, offering visitors a firsthand experience of Indonesian hospitality.

“We extend our highest appreciation and pride for the tremendous enthusiasm of the Japanese public towards the Indonesia Pavilion. Despite various initial challenges, the close collaboration between the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas has resulted in remarkable accomplishments. Our showcased creative economy products received positive responses and sold well. This has become a source of pride for the creative economy practitioners involved, ranging from fashion, crafts, visual arts, performing arts, photography, film, music, to new technology integration,” said Minister for Tourism and Creative Economy/Head of the Creative Economy Agency Teuku Riefky Harsya, who also attended the Pavilion’s closing ceremony.

More than 234 Indonesia Pavilion activities were held through collaborations with ministries/agencies, local governments, and business players, including Business Forums, Rolling Exhibitions, and Cultural Performances. The support from strategic partners such as Astra, Artha Graha Peduli, KAPPI, Barito Pacific Group, Pertamina, Indofood, Royal Golden Eagle, Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), Japfa, Telkomsel, and Garuda Indonesia exemplified the spirit of gotong royong (mutual cooperation) in promoting Indonesia’s potential on the global stage. “May the spirit of collaboration born from the organization of the Indonesia Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 Osaka inspire cross-country partnerships toward a more inclusive and sustainable future,” concluded Minister Rachmat Pambudy. The Indonesia Pavilion will officially close on October 13, 2025, coinciding with the conclusion of the Expo 2025 Osaka.

At the end of the event, the Indonesia Pavilion also received the Silver Award in the Exhibition Design category for Self-built Pavilions with an area exceeding 1,500 m², awarded by the the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). The award was received directly by Vivi Yulaswati, Deputy for Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, who also served as Consul General of the Indonesia Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 Osaka.
