Using Biomimicry to create technology of future for sustainable and environmental and human friendly products and solutions.
Biomimetics or biomimicry is an age-old concept that mimics the nature, the animals, the plants, and environmentally internal workings of human bodies - to create solutions, medicines, treatments, wearables, food, lifestyle, and products that are environmental and nature friendly.
Nature has solutions to almost all human problems. Only when we go against nature disasters happens.
Many universities are now offering master's programs, minors courses, and certifications in Biomimicry and Biomimetics.
There's no single education path for biomimicry – BUT -a strong foundation and background in the related fields like biology, ecology, various disciplines of engineering, material sciences, and design (product design, industrial design) etc. is essential.
Business can choose to go for creating disruptive future products and solutions by investing in the research, development, and manufacturing of Biomimicry-Inspired Products to create a new future.
