Our biomimetic R&D expertise
Bioxegy, expert and pioneer in biomimicry in France
A cutting-edge biomimetic R&D expertise validated by our international industrial partners.
Since 2018, Bioxegy has continually developed its unique expertise in biomimetic R&D, and thus has a methodology proven through more than 80 projects carried out with our industrial partners !
In order to promote the rapid development of efficient and tangible biomimetic solutions for our partners, our methodology is schematically divided into
4 “Phases” that accompany the rise in maturity of bio-inspired technology :
from pre-concept to industrialisation.

PHASE 1 : Pre Biomimetic Study
Objective
-
TRL 1 - 3
Phase 1 is often the first format of collaboration between Bioxegy and an industrial partner. The purpose is to resolve one or more industrial problems thanks to biomimetic pre-concepts and developmental approaches formulated by Bioxegy. It is then about selecting the most promising project for the development of a high-performance technological solution.
​
Throughout Phase 1, Bioxegy familiarises itself with the specificities of its partner (products, constraints, industrial environment, etc.) and uses its expertise to provide possible solutions to the industrial problems submitted.
Unfolding
-
3 - 6 months
In Phase 1, Bioxegy is able to carry out its work almost autonomously after the launch of the project. A mid-project workshop allows us to prioritise and select the most promising biomimetic avenues in consultation with our partner.
Bioxegy then finely formulates a biomimetic pre-concept which will be developed in Phase 2.
Common types of results
The results at the end of Phase 1 can take different forms depending on the type of subjects covered and the needs of our partner:
from a simple technical note supported by the latest work of scientific experts to pre-dimensioning validated by finite elements or CFD simulations.
Through these 4 Phases, Bioxegy is able to support the rise in maturity of a technology throughout all its stages of development. We thus provide expertise that is complementary to yours in order to co-build your future innovations together and support you in your strategic areas of development: new technologies, incremental innovation, improvement of the user experience, eco-design, evolution of standards, etc.
​
Our experience of the industry built alongside numerous partners, all sectors combined, allows us to evolve as autonomously as possible in order to limit the workload on your teams at best.
