Byron Garcia and Biomimicry

‘Quieting Our Human Cleverness….’

Meet Our Guests

The team at Innova802 enter the solutions-driven world of biomimicry with Vermont entrepreneur Byron Garcia

Byron is the founder of Natural Designs where he and his team study the natural flora and fauna of the planet for clues to solving some of industry’s most pressing issues. 

Projects include improvements to data center cooling systems through the mimicry of beetle wings and elephant ears and a whole new class of non-nicotinoid pesticides that prohibit the infestation of pests without killing them or any other organism.
