Deep Tech is the new frontier of innovation. It integrates biology, materials science, and advanced technologies to act directly on matter – no longer just on data and software, as in the digital revolution. This opens up new possibilities for the manufacturing sector to transform the real economy.
Nature Co-Design is one of its most promising approaches. It is designed with nature in mind. This means shaping products, processes and entire supply chains by drawing inspiration from the evolutionary and regenerative mechanisms of ecosystems. Biology and technology are defining new factors of production through which value can be created and regenerated, rather than depleted.
According to the World Economic Forum, this approach will have an impact worth 10 trillion dollars by 2030, generating 400 million new jobs.
The Future Farming Regional Innovation Cluster was established to accelerate this transformation and turn the Veneto region into a testing ground for regenerative supply chains, based on biotechnology, innovative agriculture and the circular economy. Future Farming acts as a catalyst for technology transfer, fostering dialogue between universities, intellectual property holders and businesses.
