Fostering Bioinnovations

From material ideas towards real-life applications

What if we embraced imperfection in our future material world? Would it be acceptable for colors to fade? And how might a future color palette look like if it were derived from regenerative living materials? Do we really need materials that last forever and unaltered, or can we view our material world differently? To turn these questions into reality, we need to explore different approaches to innovation. On display are two distinct stages in the design process of bio-based materials. CHEMARTS represents the experimental and early phase exploration of new materials, while the Bioinnovation Center showcases more advanced projects and research concepts aiming for practical implementation. Rethinking our relationship with materials and embracing imperfections are crucial steps toward redesigning our sustainable future material world.
