How is Biomimetic Connections able to provide these services?
Since 2002, Biomimetic Connections has established a dedicated network of technology licensing officers and biological expertise. Our licensing network presently consists of directors and senior licensing associates at 268 universities and public research institutions around the world. Many pro-actively provide Biomimetic Connections, LLC with the latest biomimetic IP and research disclosures.
A distinguishing aspect to our services is that in addition to receiving information pro-actively from our committed base, our interactions allow access to research outcomes that are not publicly listed and accessible by on-line search engines.
For those biologists conducting research, our proprietary ‘Biologist Registry for Applied Biomimetics’ provides us with direct access to the expertise of several thousand biologists representing the 25 principal categories of biology.
To assist in the commercialization of ‘biological design paradigms’Ô, Biomimetic Connections, LLC has developed relationships with select investment firms and ‘angel’ investors having particular interest in biomimetics. In addition, our monitoring of and interaction with corporations across the material science spectrum, as well as optical, acoustical, mechanical and intelligent software, systems and control engineering companies allows us to efficiently identify potential commercialization partners.
Companies engaged in the research and development of biomedical materials, textiles, ceramics, glass, paints/coatings, adhesives, and companies developing products engaging optical, acoustical, mechanical and intelligent software, systems and control engineering research.
