Bionics as an innovation method - on the path to biological transformation

Lightweight yet stable? Energy-saving and yet fast? Material-saving, sustainable and, above all, proven creative! Bionics works - for you too!

Nature has developed optimal solutions for many challenges, knows how to use resources most efficiently and adapts form to function. How can we benefit from biological "inventions" for our current technical problems and adapt solutions? Why not simply learn from the most experienced and sustainable developer - evolution - for self-cleaning surfaces, self-sharpening blades or self-healing materials? What design concept for wall mountings is hidden in a tick? How can the shark help save millions of tons of fuel? And why should you take a closer look at hedgehogs when transporting sensitive goods?

Find out on2.March 2023 between 15:00 and 16:00 inanother episode of the "innovativ jetzt" series to find out how you can systematically use evolutionary achievements to optimize or develop new products!

Bionics is now an established innovation method that has produced a large number of product optimizations and new developments, particularly in Germany. The exciting thing is that bionics can find answers and solutions to any specific technical problem using nature as a model. Using practical examples, Dr. Rainer Erb from the bionics competence network BIOKON and bionics expert Markus Hollermann from the engineering platform Synera will demonstrate how the findings of bionics can be used in industry. They will present how bionic effects can be systematically tested for their applicability to a specific challenge and what successes your company could also achieve with them.
