Bioinspired Innovation
Abstract
As R&D budgets face increasing pressure, smart companies can turn to nature's time-tested solutions for breakthrough innovation. Our analysis of 430 bioinspired innovations reveals three strategic principles: leverage nature's inherent efficiency and resilience, develop systematic approaches to identify relevant biological models, and adapt, rather than replicate, natural mechanisms for commercial applications. https://cmr.berkeley.edu/2026/01/how-to-harness-the-potential-of-bioinspired-innovation/
