Julius Meinl Coffee at the Austria Pavilion, Osaka Expo 2025
Discover how Julius Meinl is bringing the timeless charm of Viennese coffee house culture to Japan as part of the Austria Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
Expo 2025 Osaka is officially underway, welcoming visitors from around the world to a unique celebration of culture, innovation, and shared ideas for the future.
The Expo is expected to welcome over 28 million visitors, with 161 participating countries. Under the official theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” Austria will present its vision for a thriving, sustainable society—highlighting the balance of nature, tradition, and innovation.
We are proud to contribute to this global platform by offering a taste of Vienna at the Austria Pavilion. Visitors can now enjoy Julius Meinl’s The Originals Bio Fairtrade coffee at the pavilion restaurant —a reflection of craftsmanship, sustainability, and cultural heritage.
Austria Pavilion: Composing the Future
Set within the vibrant atmosphere of Expo 2025 Osaka, the Austria Pavilion stands as a striking symbol of Austria’s innovative spirit. Designed by renowned architects BWM Designers & Architects, the concept is a musical interpretation of the Expo’s motto – „Designing Future Society for Our Lives“. The idea is that, in Austria, the future is not „designed“, but rather composed: „Austria. Composing the Future“.
The Austria Pavilion comprises two main elements: the monumental spiral sculpture in the forecourt and the functional pavilion building housing the exhibition space, behind the spiral. Inside the pavilion, the immersive exhibition space traces Austria’s cultural connection with Japan through music, highlights Austrian innovations and technologies via interactive installations, and invites visitors to co-create a dynamic, multimedia vision of a sustainable future.
The pavilion encourages reflection on how we live, connect, and create—bringing Austria’s contributions to a global audience in an inspiring and accessible way.
