The Nature innovation model plenary - 12 June

[ NEW WAYS OF THINKING TO MAKE ECOLOGY DESIRABLE

Jérémy DUMONT. Strategic planning. Experience design. Founder of "Nous sommes Vivants". Lecturer.

>> Popular ecology versus punitive ecology: Drawing on our 4 imaginations of ecology to make it desirable.

Imaginary content shapes our relationship with the world, influences our lifestyles, gives meaning to our actions and encourages us to adopt new behaviours. How can we propose - at long last - a positive and desirable approach to ecology and a new relationship with the world and the future? We need to break the deadlock of a cold, restrictive, moralising or dogmatic vision, and propose a transition in our relationship with ecology, for a new systemic and aspirational narrative, compatible with planetary limits, consistent with the cycles of living beings, universal and re-enchanting our imagination and our desire for the future.

10.30am - 11.15am [ ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING, TOWARDS A DIFFERENT SCALE

Nicolas VERNOUX THÉLOT. Architect. Founder of In Situ Architecture.

>> Resilient plants, territories and buildings

Presentation of interdisciplinary work exploring the transposition of biological plant models into resilient buildings and territories in 3 biogeographical areas (France, Senegal and California).

Steven WARE. Architect. Partner. ARTBUILD.

>> Circularity, the new tropism of architecture.

The living world is a dynamic system, imbued with circles of regeneration. It's time for our architecture to embrace and fully explore its programmed rebirth, and for our cities to express a new sensoriality, with materials that are reactivated and reconnected to the cycles of life.

[ RETHINKING THE CARBON CYCLE WITH OUR ALLIES, PLANTS AND FUNGI

Jérémy PESSIOT. Founder of AFYREN, Deputy CEO & Chief Innovation Officer, PhD.

>> To replace the excessive number of petroleum-based molecules in our everyday consumer products with biosourced molecules. Thanks to a breakthrough, environmentally-friendly technology based on natural micro-organisms and a bio-inspired process. Explanations and prospects.

Gil BURBAN. Founder Yphen.

>> Funny mushroom caviar to clean up the soil

Thomas HENNEBEL. Co-founder and CEO of Dionymer.

[ MULTIDISCIPLINARITY AND COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE TO ACCELERATE BIOMIMICRY

With and around L'Oréal, testimonies and exchanges on the interest - the necessity - of working in multidisciplinary collective intelligence to tackle major sectoral challenges and find disruptive and innovative approaches. The players present will demonstrate the value of the biomimicry approach in different business sectors, on a variety of scales, at all stages of the new value creation process. They will then highlight the power of combining ideas, expertise and talent to invent tomorrow's solutions. A call to promote and even stimulate cross-disciplinarity and combined expertise within the biomimicry sector, at all levels.

Reveal of the new "Urban Botanix" tool, an unprecedented solution making it possible to map with great precision the areas where trees need to be and can be planted in the heart of cities to deal effectively with heat islands and run-off flooding.

Gwénaël DUCLOS. CEO of WIPSEA.

>> When AI uses image analysis to help identify and measure marine wildlife, it can also be used to measure the impact of human activities to aid decision-making.

[ THE BIO-INSPIRED INNOVATIONS THAT ARE REVOLUTIONISING THEIR MARKETS!

[ MORE LIFE FOR MORE FUTURE

He speaks of Life like no other!

We are delighted to leave the stage to Gilles BOEUF to take us on a journey of rediscovery of this immense, infinite, beautiful and brilliant, but also fragile, life that has preceded us and surrounds us, and that can take us a long way if we take care to listen to it, to preserve it, and to reconsider it as our best, indispensable and magnificent travelling companion.
