EXHIBITION
Waterkant Future Exhibition // from June every Sat & Sun 11am – 7pm //
Waterkant Future Exhibition
Opening Sunday, May 31, 2026 // 2 p.m.
The Waterkant exhibition brings the future to life! In our interactive playground, innovative startups and creative projects from Schleswig-Holstein present their ideas, prototypes, and proposed solutions for a better future. Here, you can try out the latest technologies, discover inspiring visions, and get involved yourself.
From robotics, Web3, and digital art to sustainability, mobility, and the future of aging—the exhibition explores exciting topics that invite reflection and participation. Be inspired by creative minds, test innovative products, and experience how the future is being shaped.
The motto "What if...? – What if...?" encourages us to think big and adopt new perspectives. What might our society look like if bold ideas were already reality? What role will technology, art, and sustainability play in the world of tomorrow?
Come by and be inspired by what the future of tomorrow will look like!
