BIOsocietas™ 

In the style of the invisible colleges of the past, our work is informed by a network that’s comprised some of the most inspired, innovative, and influential minds shaping bio-innovation worldwide. Through BIOsocietas™ we convene members of this global community around complex and compelling conversations and assignments.

Situated at the interface of the living and non-living world, bio-innovation span several fast-moving fields of science, technology, engineering, and design. The state-of-the-science still in the lab, and the future in the abstract, we don’t rely on what’s already in print to inform what’s possible.

Knowing our community well, both in terms of their expertise and skills, and their style and approach, when engaged for complex briefs and assignments, such as authoring white papers, convening roundtables, designing learning experiences, and curating events, editorials, and exhibitions, we can facilitate access to our global network.

Give us a brief and a budget, and we’ll advise you on who, where, and how we can create a bio-innovation dream team that will illuminate aspects of the many and marvellous ways in which the various bio-disciplines can address some of the most serious issues facing people and planet today and tomorrow.
