This year, we were invited back to give our yearly lecture to the BSc Biological Sciences students at the University of Westminster, London on their module, Designing for a Sustainable World. This module is led by Dr Pooja Basnett developing sustainable concepts throughout the year and creating a business plan and applications for funding for their inventions. Biomimicry forms a key component of the development of their ideas, and our founder, Richard James MacCowan, delivers insights into trends, market intelligence and the future of bio-inspired innovation.

Topics covered:

• Understanding biomimicry

• Inspiration and a historical perspective

• Case Studies: Sharklet Technologies; Opteran; Aquaporin; Biohm; Sparxell

• Impact

• Challenges & Opportunities

If you would like to book Richard for any speaking engagements, workshops, or media appearances, please get in contact.
