BIOMIG PLATFORM

Materials are at the heart of the issues surrounding the transition, and they affect every sector of activity. There is growing pressure to develop new materials that are not only more efficient, but also more economical in terms of resources and energy: bio-compatible materials, alternatives to petroleum-derived products, generating less waste.

The BiOMIg (bio-inspired materials open innovation generator) platform project explores the potential of biomimicry to generate the materials of tomorrow: bio-inspired materials that reconcile technical and environmental performance. It combines the best of artificial intelligence, scientific instrumentation and advanced prototyping technologies within a robust, dematerialised biomimetic eco-design methodology. The BiOMIg consortium (Ceebios, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Euramaterials, Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, L'Oréal, Rte, Big Bang Project and Madër Group) will explore the unique properties of living organisms in the natural history collections of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, and help companies to transform them into high-performance, disruptive and responsible material prototypes.
