About us
Our mission is to inspire and share how the natural world can deliver unique solutions by radically reducing the need for resources.
It all started when…
Biomimicry Innovation Lab is led by founder Richard James MacCowan, who first explored biomimicry in the early 1990s, formed the innovative company in 2019 to tackle some of industry’s most complex environmental and socio-economic problems, having been worked in biomimicry since 2010 with Biomimicry UK.
Biomimicry Innovation Lab is an innovation and foresight lab focusing on next-generation solutions to tackle complex regenerative problems for a sustainable future. We are headquartered in the historic city of York, United Kingdom, and work globally with our clients.

Founder + Biofuturist
We also collaborate with some of the foremost experts in design, engineering, life-cycle analysis, regenerative design, and sustainability.
For most of our projects, we need a network of experts. Fortunately, we have years of experience assembling these networks from academia and industry. Finance to business development.
