Sweden’s National Day Celebrated at Expo 2025 Osaka.

The event showcased the strong ties between Sweden and Japan, with a focus on sustainability, trade, and digitalisation.

A high-level Innovation Talk highlighted the strategic partnership signed between the two countries in December 2024, underlining how cross-border collaboration drives innovation and sustainable growth.

The day also provided a unique stage for Swedish companies to network, explore new market opportunities, and shape the global dialogue on the green and digital transition.

 A highlight of the celebrations was the awarding of the inaugural Pioneer Prize to GreenIron, a Stockholm-based cleantech company, recognised for its fossil-free metal recycling technology that drastically cuts CO₂ emissions in steel production.
