WHAT IS The Biomimicry Guild?

Since 1998, the Guild has consulted with companies and communities to find, vet, understand, and emulate life's time-tested strategies. We inspire, inform, and empower the bridging of nature's wisdom with human knowledge and experience.

By emulating 3.8 billion years of well-adapted technology, we help innovators design sustainable products and processes that create conditions conducive to all life.

What can nature teach us?

Life has been performing design experiments on Earth's R&D lab for 3.8 billion years. What's flourishing on the planet today are the best ideas--those that perform well in context, while economizing on energy and materials. Whatever your company's design challenge, the odds are high that one or more of the world's 30 million creatures has not only faced the same challenge, but has evolved effective strategies to solve it.
