10.15 - 12 noon [ LARGE GROUPS AND STARTUPS, BIO-INSPIRED STRATEGIES

When biomimicry becomes a field of creation, development and influence: major groups are implementing strategies and dedicated programmes, and a new generation of bio-inspired entrepreneurs are developing innovative approaches.

  • PIKAIA, Paul BoulangerHow can we think of the interactions between economic actors and territories in the same way as natural ecosystems?
  • AIRBUS, Denis Darracq, Head of Flight Physics Research & Technology at AIRBUS will be represented by Laure CouteauEcodesign/Environmental Engineer: nature, an eternal source of inspiration and performance for aeronautics.

15h15  [THE FASCINATING WORLD OF INSECTS

Those little bugs and insects that scratch and tickle us are great: rather than crushing them, what can they teach us?

With the moderator : François Lasserreauthor, lecturer and vice-president of the Office pour les insectes et leur environnement (Opie).

16:30 - 17:30  [THE REGENERATIVE AND FERTILE CITY

Urban agriculture, the resilient, regenerative and nourishing city, are the new challenges for the viable and liveable cities of tomorrow. The issue is no longer just to "protect" but to "restore" biodiversity; it is no longer a question of "putting" nature in the city, but of rethinking a city "according to and with" nature.
