Visit to The NTT Pavilion at Expo 2025

On May 20, the S&T Diplomatic Circle Kansai embarked on a fascinating exploration of next-generation communication technology at the NTT Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka. Titled "PARALLEL TRAVEL," this innovative corporate pavilion offered diplomatic representatives an immersive journey through the evolution of communication technology and a glimpse into the future of human connection.

What makes the NTT Pavilion extraordinary is its seamless integration of cutting-edge IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) technology with sustainable design principles. The pavilion demonstrates how advanced communication infrastructure can transform human interaction while maintaining environmental responsibility. Through interactive zones and real-time demonstrations, visitors experience firsthand how digital innovation can bridge physical distances and create new forms of social engagement.

The diplomatic delegation participated in groundbreaking real-time 3D spatial transmissions and engaged with sophisticated digital avatars, showcasing the potential for immersive communication that transcends traditional boundaries. These interactive experiences illustrated how IOWN technology can revolutionize everything from remote collaboration to virtual presence, offering practical solutions for a more connected global society.

As nations worldwide seek to build resilient digital infrastructure while addressing sustainability challenges, pavilions like PARALLEL TRAVEL provide crucial insights into how telecommunications companies are pioneering environmentally conscious approaches to technological advancement. The visit demonstrated the transformative potential of next-generation networks in creating more inclusive and sustainable communication ecosystems.
