*1 Green infrastructure refers to the diverse functions of nature to address social issues such as rainwater infiltration, retention, biodiversity conservation, landscape improvement, and climate change, thereby contributing to the creation of sustainable and attractive cities, and regions and enhancing well-being. Rain gardens are a planted area that captures rainwater and allows it to slowly infiltrate into the ground, helping to reduce urban flooding as green infrastructure.

*2 Next-generation solar cells are lightweight and flexible, with excellent outdoor durability and impact resistance. An auxiliary power source is also planned for use alongside the chalcopyrite solar cells. The two vending machines will be installed within the Expo venue.

*3 Green Transformation refers to the transition from the fossil-fuel-centered industrial and social structure to one centered on clean energy.
