Embark on an extraordinary week-long journey ...
Each year the programme is very rich, dense and full of surprises. This year even more so! and to an unprecedented level!
Biomim'expo, the only event of its kind on biomimicry, had to find an original and novel solution for this very special, demanding and challenging year 2020!
So we will not meet for one day, but a whole week !
In December 2020, for the first time in the world, an event will offer you a continuous thread over a whole week dedicated to the living as a model to inspire us with innovations and new models for tomorrow.
5 days, 25 sessions, > 100 speakers
Biomimicry and bio-inspired innovations take to the airwaves for a week: TV shows and duplexes, interviews, conferences, talk shows, debates, specials, photo and video galleries... and participatory workshops …
The main themes:
The incredible programme schedule
A week of inspiration, thanks to the contributions of an exceptional panel! ...
Tone and slogan 2020
" changing our perspective in order to change our scale, through the strength of the collective "
The Biomim'expo atmosphere is that of a campus for a hybrid event between a biomimicry summer school, showroom, conferences and workshops. The spirit of the event remains that of decompartmentalisation, innovation and the demonstration of the interest in drawing inspiration from living organisms to imagine innovations in the service of sustainable and reconciling development. Biomim'expo is a challenge but it is not the umpteenth alarm signal; it is more a revelation of solutions. The approach of the event is positive, scientific, entrepreneurial, to reveal nature as a solution and no longer as a constraint, to talk about the "how" rather than the "why"... the tone is neither partisan nor dogmatic nor exclusive. Biomim'expo approaches the relationship between man and nature in a broad and unrestricted way, not limited to any particular discipline. Biomim'expo is also a spotlight on a sector of excellence. We know that time is running out to halt biodiversity loss and global warming. We have known this for too long. We know that it is now the living conditions and survival of the whole of humanity that are concerned, that we are all one, in community of destiny. We also know that it is possible, that solutions exist, that research is proposing solutions, that experiments are conclusive, that we have a powerful capacity to react when we want to ... that it is not - yet - a fatality. Biomimicry, beyond the technical and technological aspects, offers a considerable asset which makes it a tool for overcoming the crisis: this invitation to looking differently to think and innovate differently.Let yourself be surprised:
A positive tone:
A slogan / mobilisation 2020
" changing our perspective in order to change our scale, through the strength of the collective "
FORMATS AND PROGRAMME
Transformation of the 1st December Biomim'expo Digital Week into 100% digital.
The majority of the content will be offered from a TV studio with some guests on set and others in video duplex. Unlike the video tools we have become big consumers of in recent months, we have chosen another environment, closer to a media and journalistic content. This is to vary the pleasures and to offer you a more pleasant experience. Just like a news programme or a TV show, you will not lose sight of the guest speakers, even when videos, reports or slide shows are broadcast.
We also maintain several workshops, to be discovered here.
A video gallery will also allow you to watch films, interviews and reports on your favourite bio-inspired innovations.
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.
We invite you to discover them.
Biomimicry, Nature and us.
We will start this week by taking a step back and looking at our relationship with biodiversity and our wider environment, what lessons we can learn for the future and how bio-inspiration can help us imagine a future that is not an extension of the past.
We will question our relationship with the living, but also our ways of life; our models of organisation as a community or as territories; our relationship with the earth, particularly in its role and promise as a nurturing land.
We will discuss the societal, political and strategic dimensions that an approach such as biomimicry can carry or contribute to.
We will of course also come back to the lessons to be learned from the current health crisis, but without forgetting the long and deep-rooted trends that it reveals and that it must not mask if we want to look ahead.
Each day ends with the "Biomim' after work", an open channel for exchanges between you.

Living and Living Tomorrow
Our cities are the habitat of our species, for two thirds of humanity in 2050. These urban ecosystems, which accelerate global warming and pollution, can be rethought, reinvented and redesigned according to natural models that are conducive to ecosystem benefits.
How, especially in cities where we have become particularly isolated from nature, can we rethink our spaces and habitats by and for living things?
We will deal with the return of nature to the city, its forms, its concrete and ecosystemic interests, the need for reconnection and re-cohabitation. Numerous examples will illustrate the innovative approaches in terms of architecture and urban planning, but also in terms of construction and equipment.
To live in nature in the city.

From research and knowledge to industrial applications ...
This day will reveal amazing and diverse bio-inspired research actors and projects, including a special interview to talk about the next generation materials that life inspires for tomorrow.
From research to industry and applications, this is the challenge of the coming years of biomimicry. Creating these bridges and this capacity to change scale in order to move on to the next era, the experts of the day will give their testimonies, their solutions and their paths for the future.
Perhaps more surprisingly, we will also go back in time to listen to the dinosaurs who, through palaeobiomimicry, still have things to tell us, for those who know how to listen.
Training and education will be discussed with the most advanced schools on the subject of biomimicry, who will also explain why a new generation of students is so interested in biomimicry.
Finally, we will discover, through a gallery of testimonies, some examples of jobs that we may not know enough about.

SOLD OUT!
For a regenerative tomorrow of biodiversity, life and hope.
Inspired by living things and protecting them, yes... repairing, restoring, regenerating, even better.
Regenerative approaches are developing and encourage us. Protecting is no longer enough, we must rebuild, recolonise, and give back to biodiversity all the vitality that is its strength and our future. A beautiful gallery of terrestrial and marine regenerative approaches will demonstrate the sometimes surprising results that we are also capable of producing. And because sometimes it is unfortunately necessary to clean up before restoring, a few bold and innovative initiatives in this field will be explained and highlighted.
To continue to open up and connect biomimicry to other approaches with which it obviously has an interest in entering into a symbiosis, and to cross silos, we will also talk about the regenerative economy, the circular economy, eco-design, etc.
Tomorrow is still possible, and we will close this Biomim'week with the prospect of a future that is favourable to life and mankind, and that brings hope.
