The term "biologization" means tapping or transferring principles and "templates" from biology and nature in order to use them in new materials, in more efficient production processes and in a more sustainable economy. Nature is seen as a driver of innovation and a source of ideas. The goal of biologization is a bio-based economy that produces and uses efficient, environmentally friendly, recyclable and intelligent products - the bioeconomy. This will be accompanied by a reduction in dependence on fossil resources and emissions of CO 2 . Essential foundations in research and development provide industrial biotechnology and bionics.
