BIOMIMICRY, INNOVATION INSPIRED BY LIFE

Polynesians' aquatic activities

An episode from the series BLUE OCEAN

Synopsis

Biomimicry looks to the genius of nature for innovative and sustainable solutions to current challenges. It draws inspiration from the forms, materials, and strategies of the living world, which have been tried and tested for 3.8 million years, to create new objects.

The most effective solutions are right there in front of us. They have enabled living species to survive through the centuries by adapting, developing capacities to move around, and probing their environment for food and ways to survive.

Faced with the ecological emergency, a growing community of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs is studying nature to build our future.
