The exhibition in the pavilion combines innovation, creativity, commitment, free thinking and cultural heritage to create a unique platform. It shows which framework conditions are suitable for producing solutions for the future.

This path with its exploratory character gives visitors insights into the special quality of life in the state of Baden-Württemberg. They will experience nature and culture, but also how people live and work here. Wood is the building material of an urban and climate-neutral future. The timber hybrid house embodies the innovation and sustainability region of Baden-Württemberg and is a showcase for the art of engineering, interdisciplinary collaboration and the importance of sustainability in the state.

On its surface, the Source opens views into special milestones in the history of innovation in Baden-Württemberg: with people, innovations, stories and ideas, the BW spirit comes alive in the Source. The space´s extraordinary atmosphere invites visitors to pause and let this spirit take effect. It is a source of thought and inspiration and a place to decelerate, a contrast to the loud and colorful Expo world outside the pavilion. „The basis of any innovation is always a stable set of values - freedom of thought, art and science.” PETER REDLIN, CEO AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT MILLA & PARTNER CULTURE, SCIENCE & ECONOMY IN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXCHANGE In a small clearing at the center of the intro, visitors will encounter a group of exhibits from science, art, culture and technology from Baden-Württemberg: Replicas from Oskar Schlemmer´s Triadic Ballet, the "Venus vom Hohle Fels" - the first sculpture by mankind - and a robot. They embody the special spirit of the state and stand for the interdisciplinary network and mutual exchange: a recipe for Baden-Württemberg´s success with innovation and inspiration in the past, present and future.

Seemingly endless, the strong, interdisciplinary network and exhibition continues in the space, creating a magical atmosphere: Baden-Württemberg as a unique innovation ecosystem becomes tangible.
