Janine Benyus | The Biomimicry Network Effect: What Will We Solve Together?

By: Janine Benyus

Introduction by Nina Simons

If we collectively consulted nature to solve a few key issues, imagine what a difference we could make!  The acclaimed biomimicry guru, biologist, innovation consultant, and author Janine Benyus illuminates how the Biomimicry community might collaborate, with nature’s help, on a short list of challenges that just can’t wait. She will translate the latest scientific findings on Biomimicry, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as “one of the 20 breakthrough ideas in business,” and on biological networks into an action plan for anyone wanting to spread good ideas organically.
