Biologization

Biologization represents a paradigm shift from mechanical and industrial approaches to biological and organic solutions, integrating biological principles into science, technology, and industry. Key characteristics include the transition from machines to organisms, a bio-based economy utilizing biological resources, the convergence of biology with technology, and the development of bio-inspired and bio-derived materials. This transformation is reshaping industries and addressing global challenges. Primary drivers include technological breakthroughs, economic potential, cost reductions, and sustainability imperatives such as combating climate change and improving food security. Policy support, healthcare advancements, and alignment with circular economy goals further enhance the transition. The global bioeconomy is valued at $4 trillion, with sectors like bioreactors projected to grow significantly, driven by biomanufacturing demands.
