Bionics in Bavaria – Technology based on nature’s model

Bionics research is based on the combination of detailed knowledge from a wide range of scientific disciplines. In order to promote the exchange between scientists and engineers, the platform “Bionics in Bavaria” promotes networking between disciplines and locations.

The Bionics in Bavaria network strengthens synergies between existing institutions and promotes communication with new players. In doing so, it offers exchange not only between companies, but also with research institutes, universities and other institutions.

From research to business, whether medium-sized or large companies: at the network meetings, everyone sits around the table to exchange interesting ideas and innovative approaches.

The schools in the Bionics in Bavaria network awaken interest in bionics and STEM subjects at a young age. The network enables a two-way exchange between schools, science and industry. Companies benefit from the networking when looking for trainees or skilled workers.

Bavaria is strong in bionics – and wants to become stronger

In Bavaria, scientific institutions, medium-sized companies and large-scale enterprises provide for a very diverse field of development and application of bionic technologies. Among the main topics of bionics in Bavaria are

• bionic drive systems and robotics
• bionic materials (proteins, ceramics, composites)
• bionic informatics and sensor technology
• construction bionics
• as well as bionic self-structuring and self-organization.

In the Bionicum exhibition, the focus lies on the communication of the main research topics to the public. This extracurricular place of learning, which is unique in Bavaria, offers a comprehensive educational program on bionics.
