Exhibit at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan
The Bandai Namco Group exhibited at the GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION at EXPO 2025 Kansai, Osaka, Japan.
The pavilion interprets the “future” and “space” worldview depicted in the Gundam series as another Universal Century, depicting a future in which technologies that have yet to be realized are used peacefully in the real world.
The Group’s sustainable initiatives were also a highlight of the pavilion.
Sculpture of a space colony made with plastic runners
Approximately 2,000 plastic runners collected from elementary school students in Osaka and other cities at Gunpla Academia were used to create a sculpture depicting the Side 7*1 space colony*2.
*1A space colony that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam.
*2A living space built in outer space that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam.
Installation of spherical botanical lights
Botanical lights generate electricity using electrons released in soil and water when microorganisms that coexist with plants carry out their life activities. By simply inserting electrodes into the soil or water where plants grow, it is possible to obtain electricity even without a power source as long as the environment is conducive to healthy plant growth, making it an energy of the future.
