SIPA Partners Consultant Speaks at the 2025 Osaka World Expo on Green Skills and Workforce Transformation
SIPA Partners Consultant Eri Uchimura recently participated as a featured panelist at the “Green Education, Skills and Jobs for Society 5.0” forum, held at the Indonesia Pavilion of the 2025 Osaka World Expo. The event, held on July 29, was organized by Green Welfare Indonesia in collaboration with the Ministry of National Development Planning of Indonesia (Bappenas), bringing together government officials, private sector leaders, and youth advocates to discuss strategies for building a sustainable and inclusive green workforce.
As the only panelist from Japan, Uchimura shared insights on the importance of cross-border collaboration in equipping future generations with green skills. Drawing on her experience advising companies on sustainability and responsible business conduct, she emphasized that the green transition must go beyond decarbonizing infrastructure to include a rethinking of how societies transfer skills, foster lifelong learning, and connect diverse generations across borders.
A highlight of the forum was the official launch of Green Welfare Indonesia’s “Green Skills for the Planet” Youth Insight Report, which gathered perspectives from 42 youth professionals across Indonesia’s key industries. The report highlighted the urgent need to bridge the education-to-industry gap and ensure that emerging green job opportunities are accessible and inclusive.
SIPA Partners is proud to support platforms that elevate youth voices and foster dialogue on sustainable workforce development between Japan and Southeast Asia. We commend Green Welfare Indonesia and Bappenas for their leadership in advancing these critical conversations at the 2025 Osaka World Expo.
