Our employees Atsuko Ishikawa, Akihiko Shigyo, Kyohei Kishida, and Seiichiro Mori gave a lecture on the World Exposition at "Odaiba Juku" (sponsored by Daiba Citizens Center Designated Manager Minato Ward Sports Fureai Culture and Health Foundation). I will. We are looking forward to your participation.

<Seminar overview>

This seminar will explore the appeal of World Expos from the perspective of exhibition design, covering news about the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, the history of the displays and its impact on society, and the efforts of NOMURA Ltd. (Odaiba, Minato-ku), a spatial production company whose roots lie in "Rankai-ya," a company that has supported the concept design.

What is Odaiba Juku?
The Minato City Sports and Cultural Foundation (Kiss Port Foundation), a public interest incorporated foundation, is working with Minato City, its residents, organizations, and businesses in the ward to revitalize the community and realize a society of regional coexistence. The "Daiba Academy" was started as a project to promote collaboration and to convey the uniqueness of Daiba.
The first in the series is NOMURA Co., Ltd., which moved its head office to Odaiba in 2008 and has been involved in the World Expo and exposition business since its founding.
