Biomimicry - innovation inspired by nature

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?

Let's build an international network

Join us
By collaborating we will learn faster and achieve greater goals. That's why we 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.
