Abstract
Biologisation of technology has already become an innovation driver for new materials and implants in medical applications. However, the potential of biologisation of technology is much greater when taking all the current research fields into consideration: e.g. the process industries using microorganisms for production of new substances or pharmaceuticals, the IT developing evolutionary algorithms for autonomous systems supporting decision making of human being, or various engineering disciplines adapting principles from nature to optimize both resource consumption and performance.
How can technical and scientific disciplines systematically learn from nature and capture value from biologisation in future? In this paper an early-biologisation approach will be introduced. When combining with the biomimetic engineering process according to ISO 18458:2015 the two approaches would improve the acceptance of biomimetics in organizations.
