Abstract

Businesses throughout the world are looking to nature for ideas when creating new goods; this is a trend that is indicative of the bio-innovation industry's explosive expansion. Product creation has benefited greatly from the so-called "biomimicry," or the mimicking of ancient biological and ecological patterns and principles. In too distant future, technology will not only mimic nature but also stand side by side. ‘Bio’ in future will serve as an additional descriptor for human creativity. Such creativity has to create more customer-friendly novel products keeping the mind environmentally suitable may be made according to the trend of bio-inspiration. Days are not far to witness the level of creativity beyond our wild imagination. Businesses are learning more about and figuring out how the biological systems operating at the moment may invent the wildest and crazy bio-inspired products.

Nowadays customers are more mindful and conscious of the environment, and paying attention to innovation for sustainability. Growing green customers are forcing companies to put top priority on Bio-Technology as well as on Green Technology a signal for strong customer environmentalism [1]. Businesses are investing an increasing amount of capital in research and development for nature-inspired solutions, and product development synthesizing human ingenuity and biological knowledge. The evolution is not exactly to produce better products, but products fit according to nature for a sustainable world. Given this backdrop of nature-inspired revolution, examination is required especially how industry, technology, and the environment are related to one another.

This paper articulates a descriptive picture of Bio-Inspired products, Bio-Inspired Innovation, and Bio-Inspired technology for future businesses that would connect sustainability in future.
