Vice-President of the Regional Government at opening of Expo 2025 Osaka
The Vice-President of the Regional Government of the Azores attended the opening of Expo 2025 Osaka, at the invitation of the Commissioner-General of Portugal, Joana Gomes Cardoso. This high-profile event brings together countries from all over the world to share innovations, cultures and visions for the future. "The presence of the Azores at this event evidences the importance of this international fair for the Autonomous Region of the Azores, providing unique opportunities to promote the archipelago in a wide variety of areas," emphasised Artur Lima, the government official responsible for attracting foreign investment and promoting the Region's economic potential. Under the theme "Designing the society of the future for our lives," Expo 2025 Osaka is the stage for debate and the presentation of innovative solutions to global challenges, covering areas such as sustainability, cutting-edge technology and international cooperation. The Vice-President emphasised that "the Regional Government of the Azores is interested in closely following global trends and positioning the Region as an active agent in building a more prosperous and equitable future." Artur Lima emphasised that "the projection of the Azores and international collaboration are crucial elements for sustainable development and the solution of complex problems transcending geographical borders." According to him, "the Azores, with their exuberant nature and commitment to development models that respect the environment, have a significant contribution to make to the discussion on a greener and more resilient future." This is also an opportunity to "boost scientific cooperation between the Azores and Japan," with a view to "continuing to project the Region as an Atlantic research platform," stated the Vice-President of the Government. With the 5th largest Exclusive Economic Zone in Europe and the 20th largest in the world, Portugal is taking part in this international fair under the theme "Ocean: Blue Dialogue." From August 14 to 16, the Portuguese Pavilion at Expo2025 will host a thematic event dedicated to the Azores, including a temporary exhibition and the promotion of regional products. At the moment, regional products are on sale at the Portugal Pavilion shop at Expo2025, which has attracted a lot of interest from the locals, namely Azorean embroidery. "We hope the Azorean presence at the exhibition will boost the Region's international image as well as attract investment and new development opportunities," highlighted Artur Lima. Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai runs from April 13 to October 13, 2025. The Azores will be present under the theme "Between Hearts."

New Specialised Dementia Day Unit is "bold and necessary step," says Artur Lima
The Vice-President of the Government presided over the opening of the new Specialised Dementia Day Unit, this Monday, at the Casa de Saúde do Espírito Santo (mental institution) in Angra do Heroísmo. For Artur Lima, this is a "bold and necessary step that will greatly benefit" the social work carried out by the Institute of the Sisters Hospitallers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Angra do Heroísmo and throughout the island of Terceira. "As long as we do not invest in prevention, we will not be able to fight disease," said the Vice-President of the Government. "Preventing is always more effective than treating. For this reason, this centre is so important," he said. The Casa de Saúde do Espírito Santo in Angra do Heroísmo has provided women with psychiatric and mental health care since 1967. The new unit is an asset for all users who need specialised care due to neurodegenerative diseases. It is also a unit that plays a crucial role for families, friends, caregivers and other people who accompany patients daily and seek professional support when situations become more complex. "Nothing replaces families' affection for parents, the humanism or the support they can get when being in an institution," emphasised Artur Lima. "The time has come to establish effective partnerships between the State, Private Social Solidarity Institutions (IPSS) and families. Without families' involvement, we would not be here," he continued. In this regard, the Vice-President recalled the "New Elderly" programme. This pioneering project is designed to be a partner for institutions, allowing "people to grow old at home in their environment, with their belongings, in their parishes, and with their favourite things and affections." From this programme, it is possible to "establish partnerships with centres like this one, so that people can receive support at home," he said. "When the signs of dementia are detected early, the sooner we can take action. Prevention, prevention, prevention. This is the most important thing we can do in the health or any area for that matter," emphasised the Vice-President. In developing its action from a preventive perspective, the new Specialised Dementia Day Unit "is fundamental in this area," concluded Artur Lima. The Autonomous Region of the Azores has cooperation agreements with the Institute of the Sisters Hospitallers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental health and psychiatric patients.
