Welcome to BiomimicryNL

The Biomimicry story

Humans are clever, but without intending to, we have created massive sustainability problems for future generations. Fortunately, solutions to these global challenges are all around us.

Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well-adapted to life on earth over the long haul.

The core idea is that nature has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. After billions of years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival.

What we can learn from the genius of nature.

How can we help?

Who we are
BiomimicryNL is the biomimicry expert in the Netherlands and uses the knowledge and genius of nature to work on future proof concepts and organizations. We believe in the potential of biomimicry, and work on iconic projects to prove this potential. The goal is to use the genius of nature in R&D processes to accelerate the transition to circulair thinking.

It's our main goal to create impact with biomimicry, and also work to new concepts and organizations using the Biomimicry methodology. We mostly work with parties in the Netherlands, but because of our relationship with Biomimicry3.8 and Biomimicry Institute, we are able to help you with all your biomimicry challenges and all over the world.

Biomimicry Workshops in English

Let's build an international network

Join us
By collaborating we will learn faster and achieve greater goals. That's why we try to build an international network. We will update each other on projects, with new knowledge and help each other with challenges. If you're working with biomimicry in your company, doing biomimicry research or also work from another 'Biomimicry hub', please let us know and let's share our Best Practices and knowledge to grow our world wide community.
