Bio-inspired Innovation

Bio-inspired innovation involves developing new products, processes, or technologies by studying and mimicking the natural solutions evolved by plants, animals, and ecosystems. Nature has optimized various functions over millions of years, leading to efficient and sustainable designs. By observing how organisms solve problems—such as how a gecko's feet stick or a shark's skin reduces drag—researchers can create human-made innovations that are more effective, environmentally friendly, and resource-efficient. This approach leverages nature's ingenuity to address challenges across industries like medicine, engineering, and materials science.
