NFGCC Presents Biomimicry 101 – Learning from Nature to Respond to a Changing World

Biomimicry is the process of learning from nature to find solutions to problems.

The world around us is changing rapidly, with the emergence of new diseases, new technologies, and new ways of working, companies need to find ways to respond and grow in rapidly changing times.

Biomimicry is an emerging discipline that seeks to emulate nature’s strategies and principles to create sustainable solutions to human challenges.

Much like today’s companies, nature must find ways to quickly solve problems and respond to a changing environment or perish. Learn how biomimicry can help companies, organizations and individuals respond to our changing world.
