Let's remember- 28 million visitors later, that's how Expo Osaka 2025 came to a close.
And recently, we had another great occasion to celebrate how the Belgian Pavilion shined at Expo Osaka 2025. A few days ago in Brussels, at TheMerode , the entire Belgian Pavilion consortium came together for a closing event to look back on what we achieved as a team.
Take a moment to watch the interview of our CEO Orphée Cataldo and step inside our creative journey.
Together with our partners, we delivered an award-winning visitor journey. How? By building a truly exceptional consortium—combining expertise, creativity, and trust. A special thank you again to all our complementary partners who made this possible: , , and ShowTex .
The Belgian Pavilion was honored with the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Bronze Award, standing out among strong international contenders for best interpreting the Expo’s theme: “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” through our story—“Saving Lives.” In addition, Belgium also received the Silver Award – Director’s Choice at the World Expolympics Awards (TEDA), and was also nominated for Best Medium Pavilion and Best Exhibit Display.
Beyond the awards, the Pavilion welcomed over 800,000 visitors, reflecting the emotional connection it created with audiences from around the world.
We took on a major challenge: transforming four distinct institutional narratives ( the federal government, FIT - Flanders Investment & Trade , Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX) and hub.brussels) —into one powerful, universal story that anyone, from anywhere, could understand in 25 minutes.
We’re also especially grateful to , for the trust they placed in us.
