Osaka is both the place that will focus the attention of the entire world for the upcoming months and the space for dialogue on the future, innovation and global cooperation. The leading theme of Poland’s participation at Expo is – “Poland. Heritage that drives the future”.  This sentence perfectly reflects our identity and ambitions. We want to show a wide audience how deeply rooted values, such as culture, history, science and tradition, become a driving force for the today’s achievements and future innovations

- emphasised Minister of Economic Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk during the opening.

We want to present Poland as the country of dynamic transitions, advanced technologies as well as an interesting tourist destination. We will demonstrate the Polish innovations, science, culture and entrepreneurship. I believe that this will be the story about Poland that inspires, invites to cooperation and visiting our country

- added the head of MEDT noting that Expo in Osaka creates a perfect opportunity to promote the Polish business both in Japan and in the Asian markets as a whole. Minister Krzysztof Paszyk stressed also that the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology supports the Polish companies in their daring expansion onto the foreign markets, including the Japanese market.
