The exhibition tells a special story of a future in which science and innovation harness the power of the sea and protect it at the same time. It is centred on various aspects of the blue economy, such as aquaculture, renewable energy, coastal defence and shipping.

For the first time, Technopolis uses an immersive digital room to immerse visitors in a virtual world. Through projections and interactive floors and walls, you feel as if you are walking around on the seabed and the fish are swimming around your feet.

Many current and future technological developments, such as floating solar panels, underwater farms, wind turbines and bubble curtains protecting porpoises from underwater noise, are also widely covered during the exhibition.

Would you like to get a good first impression of the blue economy? Then this exhibition is not to be missed!

‘“Zeekracht” is the first exhibition in Technopolis that allows you to walk in the future and see and experience for yourself how we can make that future more sustainable through science and innovation. We hope that many children and young people will be inspired to contribute to our blue economy later on. Because let’s be honest, which professions capture the imagination more than marine biologist, wind turbine designer or seaweed farmer? Whatever they choose, our message is clear: if we want to navigate the future, we can’t remain on shore. Everyone can and may contribute to a better world. “Zeekracht” therefore fits the ambitious Blue Cluster project nicely.’
