Every year Biomim'expo is a kind of small miracle, a break from the usual routine, a chance to meet up again, but also to make discoveries, open up new horizons and, above all, generate incredible collective energy and lots of smiles! In an atmosphere that was at once serious, profound, technical and sometimes even philosophical, but also deeply - and fortunately! - convivial, joyful, even a little off the wall and rock'n roll!
The great journey began in June 2016 from the Ordener base in Senlis and has been travelling through time and space ever since. The Biomim'expo crew is now more than 10,000 friends, participants and supporters; several hundred speakers, presenters and exhibitors; more than 100,000 views, shares and pages consulted.
This journey into the future is based on a rich past of 3.8 billion years of evolution and takes on board the most incredible library of knowledge and excellence, as many resilience bestsellers written by more than a million species, all of them Nobel Prize winners for resilience. And we're still a long way from having read it all!
On 25 December 1968 Bill Anders aboard Apollo 13 immortalised the legendary «eartrise» photo» and associated him with this sublime legend « we set out to explore the Moon and discovered the Earth« . Even today, we are still too unaware of the treasure that shelters us and the extent to which « it is not Man that will save the Planet, but the Planet that will save Man« if we take care of it in order to take care of ourselves. The journey to rediscover Life and Nature as our best model and most powerful ally has only just begun. The Biomim'expo ship still has a long way to go. Sometimes it's a steep road, often it's still to be cleared, sometimes it's still uncharted because the Living World is still so unknown and mysterious, but the destination is beautiful, and every time we meet or discover something, we're treated to fantastic panoramas that give us a glimpse of the sublime scenery of another future.
Biomim'expo is the place to be for all those who wear Nature as a sling, a banner and a compass, believing that our only destiny is to team up with her to build new alternatives and solutions for a future in which we all share the same destiny - the only viable and desirable future.
The annual milestone event is the culmination of all the exchange and promotion work carried out throughout the year, to raise the profile and growth of solutions for the future, based on living organisms (nature-based solutions) or bio-inspired solutions, sharing a common source: drawing inspiration from the way living organisms and ecosystems work, from the life sciences; and a common objective: to serve nature and mankind as a dual goal.
The world needs solutions. Often they are already there, just waiting to grow. Biomim'expo's ambition is to play its modest part in revealing and changing the scale of this tomorrow that has already begun.
The proposal is simple:
- Breaking out of our silos to mix and intermingle knowledge, skills, questions and answers by bringing together research laboratories, scientists, schools, entrepreneurs, major groups, professional federations, associations, public authorities, etc. because hybridisation is surprising and creative, because if you need to draw inspiration from nature, you also need to draw inspiration from others, because the solution you are looking for has sometimes already been found or tested elsewhere.
- Show, reveal, feel, explain, dialogue ... Biomim'expo is therefore first and foremost a showroom of solutions, where the players come to share and explain their ideas and solutions. The future also needs to be concrete, operational and tangible... it's the solution in the field that becomes the media, the link between us, between research and industry, between the start-up and its financial or industrial partners.
- To feel, to marvel, to relearn ... how can we protect or be inspired by something we don't know or don't care about? It can't be done. Our future begins with knowledge and emotion. Biomim'expo is therefore also a learning, sensory and artistic exhibition. Reason and rationality are not always the most effective motivators, we also need to speak to the heart and soul, and nature has everything it takes to fill us with wonder. The star is the living.
- Get out of the doldrums, re-energise, re-enthuse, rejoice, laugh and smile ... Biomim'expo is also an atmosphere, a certain mood, intangible but nonetheless well-felt, surprising, which also feels good. Curiosity, good humour, kindness, the desire to discover and listen. The future is a team sport, with Nature of course, but also with each other, and we need to want to play together.
Thank you very much!
Biomim'expo is a collective adventure, nourished by you and growing thanks to you, as you prove every year. The journey continues, and the path of the Living World still holds great prospects for us, some of which we have yet to even imagine.
Welcome aboard.
Thanks to 558 speakers we've been lucky and honoured to welcome over the first 9 editions! What an incredible line-up!

Welcome to Biomim'expo, the meeting place for all those who use life as a standard, a model, a source of inspiration and solutions to build a different future, and show that it can be done.
A major gathering to celebrate and reveal the Living World as an inspiring model for innovation, transition, adaptation to global warming and the restoration of biodiversity.
Nature is our greatest champion and model of inspiration. Protecting it and teaming up with it is also an incredible new path of innovation and positive, regenerative reconnection to - finally - rebuild a collective narrative of hope and solutions. Biodiversity is a solution to the climate problem, it is humanity's life insurance policy, and bio-inspiration is a new path of excellence towards this sustainable and desirable future.
Biomim'expo isn't just a trade fair, it's a family, a shared energy, an invitation to rewonder... thank you for your presence, your smiles, your energy, your involvement, your solutions, your projects, your various and varied contributions, your support, your testimonials...
All this hard work is rewarded a thousandfold by what we have the chance to experience and build together during the event, and throughout the rest of the year.
Thank you to all those who make Biomim'expo possible and help it grow, who contribute their stories, their expertise, their perspectives, and who share the biomim'spirit family spirit!
There's still so much to discover. See you in October 2026 (dates and location to be announced).
Biomimicry ?
The Living, Nature, Biodiversity, our Planet ... whatever word you use, it's synonymous with solutions and the future, provided we respect it, listen to it again, relearn it, revel in it and learn from it the fantastic lessons this world has to offer us to relearn how to live on Earth. In the footsteps of our elders and fellow travellers, cohabitants of the Earth, let's set off together on a voyage aboard our boat Planet, and with Nature as our skipper, she will take us far away, towards the new shores of a more harmonious, desirable and desirable future.
A real opportunity for the future, biomimicry is a fast-growing approach with strong multi-sectoral potential, at the heart of the disruptive innovation strategies of many companies, research centres and innovative businesses, because it is at the heart of the new transition underway: saving energy; working in short circuits; reducing waste; rethinking agriculture; preferring circular to linear; fighting global warming; making our housing, cities and territories resilient; combining growth and biodiversity; working and communicating in open and collegial systems; ... breaking out of silos to innovate through decompartmentalised approaches, inspired by 3.8 billion years of R&D of living things!
Biomimicry is a forgotten fact of life, which is resurfacing with the limits of the affluent economy, the rise of scientific capabilities and the acceleration of societal expectations.
