Nakanoshima is the central city of Osaka's economic and cultural center and symbolizes the water city. Like Nakanoshima, there are creative cities around the world where art and academic bases such as museums, theaters and universities are concentrated. In response to the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, we will host the Nakanoshima Pavilion Festival, a symbol business that uses the entire Nakanoshima as a unique basis. Based on existing cultural facilities and architecture as a pavilion, we will comprehensively disseminate the appeal and potential of Nakanoshima, a treasure trove of world's highest cultural assets, by utilizing the spatial environment of parks and open spaces. At the kick-off symposium, we will present the outline of this project for the first time, engage in dialogue with people who implement a sustainable co-creation ecosystem, and draw ideas and prospects for next year. We hope that many people will join us as the first of our creative activities starting at All Nakanoshima.
