The conferences

As always, 2025 will be a unique opportunity to hear a wide range of fascinating talks on what living things have to say to us..

In a variety of formats (round tables for discussion and debate, keynotes, pitches by entrepreneurs and project leaders, interviews, more intimate meetings and dialogues, academic conferences, etc.)

with the strength of multidisciplinarity and multisectoriality: at Biomim'expo you will find researchers, industrialists, start-ups, teachers, young designers, philosophers, biologists, physicists, anthropologists, company directors, public and private sector executives, associations... the world needs to listen to nature again, and to listen to each other again...

The aim has remained the same since the launch of this atypical event: to re-awaken our enthusiasm, showcase new solutions, generate enthusiasm, discover new talent, be amazed... to change the way we look at the world around us and the possible and desirable future...

The 2025 programme is launched. You can also suggest or propose topics.

The first 2025 speakers are already looking forward to seeing you ...

Thanks to an exceptional panel of almost 100 speakers over the course of the day ...

  • We will, of course, be looking back over 10 years of development and structuring of the biomimicry network and players. But why the emergence of this new approach to innovation and rethinking a new model for co-development? Why take inspiration from nature? What are the concrete examples? What are the trends? Why is it a new compass?

  • We'll also be looking at another major topic and phenomenon: the entry of Nature into management and administrative committees! With and around a leading figure on the subject: Thomas BREUZARDpermaentreprise Director at Norsys and Co-Chairman of B Corp France (B Lab).
  • And because the future is being played out as a team, and because many transition support structures are doing exemplary groundwork, but because only concrete examples count, we are offering you several testimonials in duos between a support structure and a person being supported, in other words between a support structure and the entrepreneur who, on the ground, will explain to us how this has changed his business and the decisions he has taken.
  • We all live in towns and cities, in developed ecosystems, whether urban or rural, man-made or natural ... how can we act and rethink our living spaces to make them more resilient, more harmonious, but also more economical, interconnected, robust, regenerative ... with and around Anne CLAUDIUS-PETITRegional Councillor for the Southern Region, Chair of the Energy Transition, Waste Strategy and Air Quality Committee.
