Creator of biosourced 100% molecules of interest for the cosmetics and fine chemicals sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 15 years of research in ecological chemistry within the ChimEco laboratory, Prof. Claude Grison joined forces with Technofounders to create BioInspir in 2020, with the aim of commercialising the production of biosourced and natural molecules for the cosmetics and fine chemicals sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BioInspir selects certain plant species capable of biosorbing metals contained in natural or industrial effluents. The use of these plants makes it possible to create filters to capture the metals, and from these, to design ecocatalysts used for the soft synthesis of high added value products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the company has a library of molecules that evolves day by day. New molecules are developed every week, either on a contract basis for clients or on molecules with a high stake for numerous companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After securing nearly \u20ac1 million in funding in September 2020, BioInspir is developing its molecule library and preparing to scale up to kilo-lab size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOINSPIR accelerates its growth and secures nearly \u20ac1 million in financing<\/strong>Montpellier, 9 September 2020<\/em>\u00a0- The result of 15 years of research by Claude Grison and the ChimEco laboratory, Bioinspir synthesises molecules for fine chemistry from its unique ecocatalysis platform. Only a few months after its creation, the deeptech start-up has secured nearly \u20ac1 million in funding to support its first commercial phase. In recent weeks, the start-up has completed a financing round with TechnoFounders Participations, was a winner of the i-Nov innovation competition and was awarded the French Tech Emergence grant.

LES ECHOS \/ SEPT 2020 \/ Bioinspir invents a plant filter to clean up contaminated water<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spin-off from the ChimEco laboratory at the University of Montpellier, the start-up Bioinspir has developed a plant-based filter to capture metals in polluted water. Designed from invasive aquatic plants, it can then be reused for other applications. Discussions are underway with chemical companies. Suite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
