16:15 - 17:30 [ FROM RESEARCH TO APPLICATIONS: WHEN BIOMIMETICS CHANGES THE GAME

New bio-inspired applications are emerging every day. Factors such as the urgency of the issues at stake, new expectations, scientific factors (new knowledge, new tools, new approaches, etc.), economic factors (the value of deep tech innovations, the value of alternative approaches, the benefits of processes or uses, etc.) and cultural factors (multidisciplinarity, a change in outlook, academic and semantic bridges, etc.) are all conducive to the emergence of a new generation of innovations and players.

Introduction :
