NEC Corporation Purpose & Expo Theme

The Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, under the concept “People’s Living Lab”, a laboratory for a future society, aims to implement future societies by positioning the Expo site as a place to demonstrate new technologies and systems.

This will contribute to the convenience of users through touchless payments, as well as ensuring safe, secure, and efficient Expo operations by preventing identity fraud. Additionally, NEC will provide the DID/VC solution "NEC Digital Identity VCs Connect," utilizing biometric authentication technology, for the signature pavilion "null²", produced by Yoichi Ochiai.
