"A large museum for the life sciences will in the medium term support the reduction of the serious shortage of talented professionals in science-oriented disciplines in Bavarian enterprises. The worldwide demand for solutions to problems that originate in the interaction of humans with nature is increasing continuously - key words: climate change, food, health, lack of resources, GM technology. Particularly the Bavarian industry already uses the business opportunities that reside in a sustainable solutions. The considerable possibilities for growth, however, are limited, because we are increasingly lacking professionals with training in the natural sciences. Young people frequently have reservations towards such discplines. A natural history museum which, like the small existing Museum Man and Nature, familiarizes children and teenagers with the subject matter in a vivid and congenial way, is eminently suitable to awaken interest for these promising professional fields. In this manner, BIOTOPIA will contribute to the growth and wealth in Bavaria."
