Innovation meets homeland
The Technical State Museum MV celebrated the opening of the FOKUS:INNOVATION exhibition project yesterday with more than 50 guests. The innovative exhibition project offers a platform for dialog, visions for the future and the presentation of technical innovations from the region.
The topic “Insulation technology made from seagrass” is the first impulse within the exhibition project, which will address three to four innovation topics per year in the future.
The event was opened with a welcoming address by Martin Kopp, Managing Director of Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Nordwestmecklenburg mbH. In his speech, he emphasized the special value of the project for the regional economy and its role as a bridge between science, research and society.
Another highlight of the evening was the inspiring presentation by Vincent Marnitz, founder of the start-up Build Blue and exhibition partner. Marnitz spoke about the impressive development of his young company as well as his personal commitment and ambition to drive innovative solutions forward. The presence of a member of the Bundestag, Ms. Simone Borchardt, acknowledged the relevance of the project and underlined its appeal beyond the region.
The FOKUS:INNOVATION exhibition is much more than a classic presentation of innovations.It is a living, changeable exhibition system that combines historical perspectives with modern technical developments.
In the medium term, an innovation database will be created at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Technical State Museum, which will safeguard the regularly changing themes and invite the museum audience to actively engage with issues relating to sustainability, climate change, artificial intelligence and other global challenges.
Funded by the German Foundation for Commitment and Volunteering, the project aims to strengthen social cohesion and resilience.It opens up museums as “third places” and creates spaces for open discussions and fact-based, constructive debates.
The opening event marked the beginning of a new phase for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Technical State Museum as a place for dialog, learning and active participation.The FOKUS:INNOVATION exhibition will remain open to the public from now on and invites all interested parties to be inspired by the innovative power of the region.
