ON, an international provider of AV solutions with operational hubs in Brazil and Portugal, was entrusted with the full AV integration and daily operation of the Portugal Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, a standout cultural and technological space, which has already welcomed over 500,000 visitors.
The Pavilion, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma, explores the theme The Ocean: The Blue Dialogue through immersive storytelling, interactive installations, and large-scale projections.
ON was contracted by Rimond SRL, the general contractor for the project, to deliver the complete AVL infrastructure for the Portugal Pavilion - covering everything from equipment acquisition and system design to installation, integration, and daily operation throughout the six-month event. Their scope included projection systems (walls, floors, interactive surfaces, and a custom-built minidome), architectural and scenic lighting, multichannel sound systems, LED installations, touchscreen displays, and centralized control automation.
As the Pavilion is entirely driven by audiovisual content, the seamless integration and reliability of these systems were critical. A team of eight professionals from ON worked on-site in Osaka, collaborating closely with local Japanese teams and Portuguese partners to meet tight deadlines and navigate challenges. The conceptual development and exhibition design were led by MUSE - Museums & Expos, a company specialised in curating museum and cultural projects.
