BIOfuturus™
Illuminating the potentialities of bio-informed, bio-inspired, and bio-material science, technology, engineering, design and thinking, our BIOfuturus™ service is designed to help your business harness emerging, anticipated and possible future trends, products, services, and markets at the edge of bio-innovation.
Our approach being experimental, not prescriptive, and bespoke to the brief in hand, we work on commissioned, retained, and sponsored assignments designed to identify possible risks and opportunities being catalysed by novel applications of biology and biological approaches in all their many forms.
Designed to meet the needs of those at every stage of their biofutures journey, our services draw on our extensive expertise and network across several bio-innovation fields including biotechnology, bioengineering, biofabrication, biomaterials, biodesign, and biomimetics.
Ways in which we can identify how, where, and why advancements in the bio-innovation fields may shape your future products, services, models, and markets include delivering foresight white papers, reports, and other publications, strategic advisories, executive briefings, keynote talks, workshops, curation, and concept ideation.
