A hands-on exhibition on the topic of bio-economy can be seen on board the converted cargo ship. The exhibition is recommended for visitors aged twelve and over. Submission is free.

Mushroom cleaners and bamboo materials – many aspects of the bioeconomy can be discovered on board the exhibition ship in about 30 interactive exhibits. Ethical and political aspects are also examined: How sustainable are biofuels? What are the opportunities and risks associated with new plant breeding methods? How can the world’s population feed themselves in the future?
