As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, technological disruption, and social inequality, the Netherlands is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of humanity. The tendering process for the operation of the Netherlands Pavilion during the World Expo 2025 Osaka has been published, offering hospitality and facility management companies a unique opportunity to showcase their expertise on an international stage.
The Netherlands Pavilion will be one of over 160 countries and organizations participating in this global event, which is expected to attract approximately 28 million business and private visitors from Japan and around the world. The pavilion's theme, "Common Ground: creating a new dawn together," aims to highlight Dutch innovative solutions in areas such as energy transition, sustainability, and social innovation.
"The Netherlands has always been at the forefront of international cooperation and problem-solving," says Hans Vredeling, Director-General for International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "The Expo 2025 Osaka is a perfect platform for us to showcase our expertise and build bridges with other nations."
Historically, the Netherlands has played a significant role in shaping global policies on trade, security, and human rights. The country's commitment to international cooperation dates back to its involvement in the establishment of the United Nations in 1945.
The Expo 2025 Osaka is not just an opportunity for the Netherlands to promote its interests; it also represents a chance for the country to engage with other nations on pressing global challenges. As the world grapples with the consequences of climate change, the pavilion will provide a platform for dialogue and collaboration between businesses, knowledge institutions, and cultural organizations.
Key stakeholders in this process include the Dutch government, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), and various private sector companies that have expressed interest in participating in the tender. These companies will be responsible for managing the pavilion's operations, including catering, hospitality, event management, human resources, security, cleaning, and gift shop operations.
According to a report by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, international events like Expo 2025 Osaka can have a significant impact on global stability and cooperation. The report notes that these events provide a platform for nations to engage in dialogue and build relationships, which can help to mitigate conflicts and promote peace.

"The Expo 2025 Osaka offers a unique opportunity for nations to come together and address pressing global challenges."
The pavilion's design was created by a consortium of Dutch companies, including RAU, DGMR, Tellart, and Asanuma. The theme of the pavilion aims to showcase Dutch innovative solutions in areas such as energy transition, sustainability, and social innovation.
