OSAKA: The Saudi Arabia Pavilion announced that it has won the inaugural technological innovation award at the Osaka Expo for its 3D Coral Reef Project in its Sustainable Seas experience room.
The Expo Innovation Award for Technological Innovation was announced by the Bureau International des Expositions and the Global Industrial and Social Progress Research Institute. It will be formally presented by the BIE secretary-general and the chairman of GISPRI to the Saudi Arabia Pavilion on Sunday.
Saudi Ambassador to Japan Dr. Ghazi Faisal Binzagr said: “We are honored to receive this international recognition at Expo 2025 Osaka. More than an award, it affirms our responsibility to harness the Kingdom’s innovation and expertise to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.
