In 2017, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) online sales accounted for 7% of…
Read MoreFrom inspiration to perspiration: Moving beyond the ideation phase using biologically inspired design principles
Mother Nature has been experimenting on her own designs for eons and many are looking to capture insights from evolution. Biologically inspired design (BID), which is a process of translating biological mechanisms to innovative solutions, is gaining a lot of traction for research and development. Some are turning to biology as a source of innovation;…
