Reports

【Reflection】
The program successfully informed many visitors about the concept of TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY as a "field for experimentation for enriching lives 100 years into the future." Following the closure of the Expo, panelists offered diverse ideas on how to pass on the Expo's legacy through the city, and concrete ideas were proposed by the co-creation partners and challenge participants who attended the event.
In the TEAM EXPO Discussion, city officials responsible for various areas spoke about what can be done now for the next 100 years regarding the themes of previous sessions—"Considering Environmental Harmony with the Community," "Considering How to Convey 'Culture'," and "Considering Future Lifestyles." Together with the attendees, we envisioned the future of the city.
After the discussion, visitors wrote their "ideas and expectations for the future TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY" on the interactive "Co-creation Board" set up at the venue, and we received a great number of aspirations. At the panel discussion, as part of the "SDGs + Beyond: Inochi Kirameku Future Society Week," we discussed "what can be done at TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY to achieve SDGs + Beyond" with the participants. The discussion involved defining SDGs + Beyond within the panelists' respective fields of expertise and exploring future urban development initiatives, specifically the outlook for efforts at TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY.
The panelists had a lively discussion about the potential of the city, concluding with a declaration of action to take a step-by-step approach to realizing SDGs + Beyond through initiatives at TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, thereby successfully promoting the city as a place for co-creation that will inherit the legacy of the Expo.

【Post EXPO Initiatives】
After the Expo concludes, the first of a series of related events will be "TEAM EXPO REUNION in TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY," held on Friday, December 5, 2025, at a facility within TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY.
This event will provide a venue for corporations and organizations wishing to continue their co-creation efforts to look back on their "TEAM EXPO 2025" activities and seek future activity locations, partners, and ideas.
This event marks the first step of co-creation within the city, setting the stage for TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY—a field for experimentation for enriching lives 100 years into the future—where various initiatives aimed at solving social issues will be implemented with co-creation partners, co-creation challenge participants, and other business partners involved with the city.
In May 2026, a multi-generational and multi-cultural workshop, "MIRA-GE seed in TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY," hosted by co-creation partner Link and Motivation Inc., is scheduled to take place at "Gateway Park," the city's largest event space. This event will center on elementary and junior high school students who will lead the future, bringing together people of diverse ages and cultures to discuss future lifestyles.
Moving forward, as TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY embodies the concept of a "field for experimentation for enriching lives 100 years into the future," which aligns with the "People's Living Lab" (Future Society's Experimental Ground) concept of the Osaka-Kansai Expo and the "TEAM EXPO 2025" policy, we will inherit the legacy of the Expo's "challenge to co-create the future with people around the world" and continue working with co-creation challenge participants and co-creation partners to solve social issues within the city, even after the Expo's conclusion.
