Technology

This card helps you determine technological challenges in scaling and producing biodesign solutions.

• How might current technological limitations in biodesign industrialisation impact your ability to scale your projects from prototype to production?

• How will you collaborate with engineers, scientists, or technologists to solve the technical issues that arise when scaling your biodesign work?

Spiber

Spiber is a company that produces protein-based polymers, which are spun into yarns and woven into fabrics with a wide range of textures. This fully biobased technology became a reality through the collaboration of experts from diverse fields, following years of dedicated research to make this technology platform both feasible and applicable.

• Determine early what the technological feasibility will be of your concept today, looking at benchmarks, technology readiness, similar processes. 

• Identify the experts that might be able to help you overcome the technological issues.
