Saudi Arabia's Cultural Development Fund Participates in Expo 2025 Osaka

Saudi Arabia's Cultural Development Fund (CDF) will participate in Expo 2025 Osaka as part of the Saudi Pavilion, aiming to showcase the Kingdom's rich cultural heritage and its role in economic growth in alignment with Vision 2030. The Saudi Pavilion, designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Journey, offers an immersive architectural experience inspired by traditional Saudi villages, featuring winding streets, native flora, and a central courtyard that doubles as a performance venue. CDF's presence will focus on cultural entrepreneurship, investment opportunities, and the Year of Handicrafts initiative, with workshops and panel discussions planned to highlight support mechanisms for cultural projects. The pavilion integrates architecture and multimedia to provide visitors with a sensory journey into Saudi culture and everyday life, emphasizing meaningful global connections. Designed for sustainability and disassembly, the pavilion embodies both cultural authenticity and environmental responsibility. This collective effort underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to positioning its cultural sector as a key driver for economic diversification and international engagement.
