Biofabricate Summit 2019

Biofabricate Summit 2019

Promoting a #materialrevolution, bio-based materials and processes can change the material world

I have been following the work of the fashion designer Suzanne Lee for a decade. For some years, while I was living in Brazil, I always talked about her work in the classes of Fashion and Sustainability and the workshops that I gave. I am proud to see her journey and I do believe she is an example for us, designers, researchers, and entrepreneurs.

Briefly, she became famous around the world because of the development of a bio-based material that could be used for clothes (until a certain point). Then, she launched the book Fashioning the Future: tomorrow’s wardrobe and was the Chief Creative at Modern Meadow. Now, she is an entrepreneur that really engages society in a dream:

the development of the material culture using bio-based materials and bio-fabrication.

Since 2014, she promotes the Biofabricate Summit, a gathering of biofabrication pioneers. On 5th December, in London, people from all over the world joined the event to see some speakers and companies. For 2020, they pretend to build a platform to fuel the #materialrevolution.

About Biofabricate

Biofabricate is focused on the intersection of design, biology, and technology. It is the world’s first summit to nurture collaboration around the biofabrication field, share knowledge with other industries, build community, and accelerate innovation. The summit is the leading platform for the emerging consumer biotech industry to provide updates, unveil prototypes, and launch new products.

With deep expertise, the unique team comprises experts of both science and design. We’ve worked on the inside at start-ups and in the biotech and consumer industries. We are singularly situated to support leading brands, organizations, and companies – revealing how design can leverage biology as a technology to create more sustainable products.
