Showcasing innovations that give back to the planet

Join the Biomimicry Institute and the Ray C. Anderson Foundation at two events this fall to celebrate the entrepreneurs who are creating solutions that help all species on this planet thrive.

On October 19th, join us for the Biomimicry Launchpad Showcase at the David Brower Center in San Francisco, CA. Biomimicry pioneer Janine Benyus will present the latest examples of cutting-edge biomimetic technology and teams of entrepreneurs from the Biomimicry Launchpad will display their prototypes for carbon capture, reforestation, temperature regulation, and more!

Then, on October 20th at the Bioneers National Conference, watch as the Ray C. Anderson Foundation’s John Lanier takes the stage to award the 2018 $100,000 Ray of Hope Prize®, a $25,000 second place prize, and other cash prizes to teams in the Biomimicry Launchpad.
