IMD 2025 Theme
2025 Theme: “One Moon, One Vision, One Future” Selected through a global competition, this year’s theme embodies the spirit of unity, collaboration, and progress in lunar exploration.
- One Moon. A universal symbol of unity and curiosity, the Moon belongs to all of humanity. It represents our shared responsibility to explore and preserve it for future generations.
- One Vision. A call for cross-border collaboration, uniting nations, industries, and individuals in a shared commitment to advancing science, technology, and space exploration.
- One Future. A promise of sustainability, inclusion, and collective progress. The Moon represents the next step in humanity’s journey, turning challenges into opportunities and inspiring future generations.
