The TECH WORLD Pavilion, which drew significant international attention and widespread acclaim during its participation at Expo 2025 Osaka, was recreated at the 2026 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Chiayi with the support of the Executive Yuan. The pavilion was open to the public from March 2 to 15, between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. daily, for visitors to experience firsthand the exhibition that previously shined on the global stage.
According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the TECH WORLD Pavilion marks Taiwan’s first fully self-developed international exhibition project to encompass planning, design, engineering, and operations. Over its 184-day exhibition in Osaka, it attracted more than one million visitors, received international awards, and gained strong popularity among international patrons,thereby demonstrating Taiwan’s integrated strengths in technology, design, and culture.
During its exhibition in Osaka, many people in Taiwan expressed their hope to experience the TECH WORLD Pavilion domestically. The MOEA noted that this public enthusiasm was a key force in driving the pavilion back to Taiwan.
Despite limited time and resources, the MOEA actively coordinated relevant agencies and teams to recreate this pavilion. After evaluating nearly 30 potential venues nationwide, the Taiwan Lantern Festival was selected due to its festive atmosphere, which aligned with the spirit of the Osaka Expo.
The recreated pavilion retained its original highlights and immersive experience, presenting Taiwan’s innovative technology, cultural diversity, and industrial capabilities.
