"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."

„I am committed to BIOTOPIA to bring the many fascinating exhibits to light, so they can be displayed in appealing surroundings for curious citizens, families and young people soon. In this way, the entire natural history becomes visible, audible and palpable - and does not only come to live virtually!"

“Being a biologist and a dedicated behavioural scientist, nature, environment and species protection are near and dear to me. In my eyes, BIOTOPIA – a modern life sciences companion to the Deutsches Museum – presents an immense opportunity to familiarize the Bavarian (and European) population with nature and natural sciences and spark enthusiasm for these highly fascinating subjects. I personally consider children and adolescents to be particularly important. I hope BIOTOPIA ignites their natural curiosity and helps them view research as something enriching and exciting.”
