Fascinatingly sensitive, plants possess abilities that scientists are still discovering, both in the field and in their laboratories. They memorise thanks to calcium, use sugar as an anti-icing agent, defy the laws of gravity and even reconfigure their DNA. They have adapted to the most extreme climates and are integrated into all ecosystems. Beyond the admiration we hold for them, plants will help us to build a future that is more respectful of the environment.

2024 [ WHAT IF WE CHANGED EVERYTHING?

How can the simple act of reconsidering the place of life in the act of entrepreneurship become a powerful lever for transforming a company? This is illustrated by the testimonial and concrete presentation of Pocheco, a biomimetic company that has completely overhauled its economic, ecological and social model to become a genuine demonstrator in the service of others. What were the triggers? What steps were taken? What choices have been made in terms of raw materials, processes, equipment, etc. How can we transform our industrial production facilities and rethink their links with the local area? How can we (re)reconcile economic, social and environmental performance? The company has become a demonstrator of the field of possibilities, thanks to its management of water and energy, its relationship with human and non-human living organisms, its way of occupying the site and the means of transport used. A presentation of the feedback, the obstacles encountered, the successes, and also the financial and non-financial indicators of the approach.

2024 [ AND WHAT IF THE LIVING WORLD BECAME "THE BOSS"?

Before product innovation, the bio-inspiration approach begins with a structuring questioning of the way in which the 'corporate species', as a living species, impacting and connected to its ecosystem, can and could live better, in an optimised way and for mutual benefit with its environment-resources. Establishing the principles of Life as a prerequisite for management is already an incredible method for setting a new course, and the means to achieve it. And while the idea of the "impact company" or "regenerative company" is a new and formidable emerging approach, we still need to know how to measure this impact, combine approaches (biomimicry, eco-design, life cycle, etc.) and clearly define the criteria and rules of the game.

2024 [ AND WHAT IF ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE BECAME GLOBAL PERFORMANCE?

We have a certain obsession with performance and growth, in both cases with the aim of constantly increasing them. Is this reasonable? And is it the only model? The 3 speakers, through their respective research, analysis and operational thinking, will reveal other ways of approaching the idea of controlled, shared, harmonious and therefore sustainable development.

2024 [ DECONSTRUCT OUR PREJUDICES, WHICH PREVENT US FROM UNDERSTANDING NATURE AND ACTING ACCORDINGLY

The instructions for living our world better are right in front of us. All we have to do is observe living things. But we still need 1/ to want to 2/ to accept our ignorance 3/ to know how to read living things.

2024 [ AND WHAT IF COMPANIES AND TOWNS ALSO PRODUCED BIODIVERSITY?

2024 [ RETHINKING OUR PRODUCTION SITES AND LIVING SPACES WITH LIVING BEINGS

2024 [ET SI LA TERRE NOUS PARLAIT? 8 principes de vie inspirés des peuples racines / (IF THE EARTH WERE SPEAKING TO US) Les Liens qui Libèrent

Perhaps it is we Westerners who have detached ourselves from the Earth and become «off-ground»? Listening to the Earth since their origins, the ancestral cultures of the root peoples carry within them a sense of what it means to be human: to form a society to contribute to the balance of life. And what if the solution also involved going back to our roots?

2024 [ TERRAMATION, WHAT IF OUR BURIAL PROLONGED LIFE?

It's a cultural, political, spiritual and, of course, ecological revolution. It's well under way, and it could profoundly change our relationship with death and alter the whole landscape of the funeral industry. With the start-up Humo Sapiens as our guest speaker, we present this shift in thinking and its modus operandi; take stock of the legal, regulatory and political context (which is taking the issue very seriously); and share some scientific data on the subject. Deeptech is also about culture, and this one is sure to make you think!

• How do we 'reset' things so that we no longer see ourselves as a separate or superior species but rather 'reintegrate' ourselves into the living world; what is evolution and what are the great lessons to be learned from it; what are these famous 'great principles' of life, which we like to think of as the specifications for performance and resilience?
• These are all fundamental questions for laying the foundations of a method, a state of mind and a work of reflection and innovation on the paths of #biomimicry. Drawing inspiration from living beings to innovate and rethink our own future as a species is undoubtedly first and foremost a matter of reconsidering our rightful place and our interconnections and cousinship with all living beings.

According to Emmanuel Delannoy, there is no crisis in the living world: there is only a crisis in our relationship with the living. The pandemic reveals the difficulty of integrating our social, economic and political organisations into the planetary web of life - which we call «biodiversity» without always understanding that we are one of its components.

After a first part devoted to studying the limits and potential pitfalls of our current conception of ecological transition, the author describes the conditions, values and principles of action of an ethical approach to biomimicry, which would contribute to the emergence of a new relationship with living things, or even a new collective imagination - the «narrative» that societies need to cement themselves together and civilisations to evolve. One of the pioneers of biomimicry in France, Emmanuel Delannoy has been exploring the areas of friction and possible convergence between the economy and biodiversity for over twenty years. Since 2018, he has been a founding partner of Pikaia, where he works to encourage the metamorphosis of businesses towards resilient, regenerative models inspired by living things. He is already the author of two books published by Wildproject: L'économie expliquée aux humains (2011) and Permaéconomie (2016).
