「The Spiral of Life: From Ammonite to iPS Heart」
From the birth of life to the present, our hearts have been the link to "life". The Pasona Group Pavilion "PASONA Natureverse", based on the concept "Giving Thanks to Life", welcomes Dr. Yoshiki Sawa, Professor Emeritus of Osaka University, a leading expert in regenerative medicine using iPS cells, as Executive Producer. The pavilion will feature a variety of exhibits under the theme of "Body, Mind, and Bonds," including state-of-the-art technologies such as iPS cell-derived cardiac tissue sheets that restore the heart, a "symbol of life”.
The architectural design of the pavilion adopts the spiral shape of ammonites as a “symbol of life”. Ammonites, which lived approximately 400 million years ago and thrived for a long period of time, overcoming three periods of mass extinction, including the Ice Age, can be regarded as our "predecessors of life". The natural world contains countless spirals of varying scales, as seen in cosmic nebulae and typhoons on the macro scale and in DNA on the micro scale. We positioned this spiral as a symbol of a society of true abundance, where people connect with each other toward the pavilion's goal of a world where gratitude for life resonates.
Through its exhibition, Pasona Group aims for visitors of the pavilion to learn about the history of life, experience the wisdom of humankind that supports life and the design of the future society, as well as feel a sense of gratitude for life.

『PASONA Natureverse』Concept
Pasona Group's job is to harness the potential of the individual.
We are aiming to help build a society in which everyone can flourish in good health and vibrance.
“Giving Thanks to Life”
We want to create a world where life is respected; a world enveloped in gratitude for life,
from children to the elderly, among all people across the world.
Our society is a part of the natural world,
and humanity's continued existence is thanks to nature.
However, at some point, we began to take nature for granted.
Have we forgotten to be grateful?
Giving thanks to each other, to the rich blessings bestowed upon humanity by nature,
and for the fact that we are alive right now.
. We want to create a new world in which these expressions of thanks resonate and are passed down to the next generation.
We hope that many people from all over the world will visit our pavilion
and become creators of a future in which gratitude resonates,
and work together with us to create the "Natureverse" (Nature×Universe).
This is the hope of Pasona Group.
The Main Themes of Pasona Group’s Pavilion
1：Body: Medical / Food
Creating a healthy body through the latest medical care and food.
※As Executive Producer of the pavilion, we welcome Dr. Yoshiki Sawa, Professor Emeritus
of Osaka University and leading expert in regenerative medicine using iPS cells.
2：Heart: Life Purpose / Compassion
Many things have occurred in our society since the pandemic began.
Now is the time to create a spiritually rich society in which everyone can think about their future based on the spirit of "compassion," and which is full of diversity and purpose in life.
3：Bonds: Work / Mutual Aid
Creating a truly prosperous society in which all people can work vibrantly and live happily, in other words, a "society of mutual assistance" and a "mutual society".
