World Expo: Osaka

(asked on 4th September 2023) - View Source

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much they estimate will be spent by each department on organising the UK pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025; and how much funding they estimate will be provided by (1) UK businesses, and (2) other organisations, to support the organisation of the UK pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025.


This question was answered on 22nd September 2023

The Department for Business and Trade is organising the UK Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025 on behalf of His Majesty's Government. The Department's estimated total budget for delivering the UK's presence is £58.39m. This is funded from contributions from existing budgets.

Significant additional funding is being sought from the private sector to offset costs to the taxpayer. This work is in train - it is not therefore possible to accurately estimate private sector funding levels at this point.
