Leaders in the Global Biomimicry Movement

We have partnered with the City of San Diego and local universities to become the world’s first biomimicry hub.

Biomimicry in Action

Read all about innovations that have been inspired by nature.

With one of the largest plant and animal collections in the world, San Diego Zoo Global acts as a living library of ideas to resolve design challenges. The Zoo offers executive education and customized corporate workshops at our facilities that introduce the concept of biomimicry, the design process, and real-life examples of nature’s unique characteristics.

We offer a variety of corporate experiences ranging from half a day to a full three-day intensive workshop. Companies will be exposed to the full scope of San Diego Zoo Global’s facilities, including the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, and Institute for Conservation Research. Participants will receive an overview of biomimicry, gain a deeper understanding through interactive exercises, collaborate with experts, and experience special plant and animal encounters. The San Diego Zoo will work closely with corporations to tailor the experience to meet specific needs. We have had the pleasure of providing biomimicry services, programs, and presentations to a number of companies including IDEO, GE, P&G, Nike, Qualcomm, Hallmark, WD-40, and Boeing.
