Ceebios cooperative
Biomimicry is built collectively
Its large-scale implementation requires a joint organization. This is the role of the Ceebios cooperative.
A status adapted to the challenges of biomimicry
Biomimicry stems from a sense of wonder at the ingenuity of life and its 3.8 billion years of evolution.
Transforming this inspiration into new models requires combining knowledge, experimenting together, and taking long-term action.
The cooperative model provides this collective framework and allows for the structuring of biomimicry’s deployment at the scale of products, buildings, and territories.
A cooperative society of collective interest (SCIC)
This status guarantees:
democratic governance
direct stakeholder involvement
reinvestment of profits in the project
a mission of general interest
It ensures that Ceebios’ efforts are sustained over the long term, in support of the ecological transition..
Non profit cooperative structure – ESUS Label – CIR Aproval
+ 100 members
Companies, laboratories, public institutions and experts involved in the development of biomimicry.
A democratic governance
The members elect a board of administrators responsible for defining strategic orientations and supporting the organization’s development. This structure ensures the representation of the various stakeholders and that collective decisions are consistent over time.
A collaborative organization
On a daily basis, the permanent team implements practices that foster collective intelligence and complementarity of expertises.
Trained with the Université du Nous, it relies on shared governance methods that clarify roles, facilitate dialogue, and strengthen the quality of decisions.
A committed scientific presidency
Renowned biologist and former president of the National Museum of Natural History, Gilles Boeuf has been involved with Ceebios since its inception.
As a recognized figure in the field of biodiversity, he advocates a rigorous approach of biomimicry: drawing inspiration from the living world to transform the way we design, produce, and inhabit our environments.
His presence ensures the cooperative’s scientific foundation and fuels its ambition.
