Gunter Pauli (ZERI - based in Japan) welcomes you to the shortlist of one hundred technologies that are all inspired by proven design systems from Nature. This summary is only a small component of this long-term research project that aims to identify key technologies that will help society and industry to leapfrog towards sustainability.

We hope you will be inspired, and imagine with us how to design our society, businesses and industries using the inspiration of Nature's design principles. If we know what has been done by Nature then we can at least try to do as well as it does. We believe we can!!
