Our planet is changing at an unprecedented rate. The world's population is growing, and the consequences of climate change are being felt. We can only maintain a future worth living in if humanity, the animal world and the plant world live in a harmonious balance. That is why we at Festo consider the bioeconomy to be the economic system of the future. Our claim is to make a decisive contribution to improving the quality of life of present and future generations - by cultivating biomass on a large scale through our automation technology.
If we can manage to establish sustainable cycles, this will create innovation spaces from which both people and the environment can benefit equally. Circular economy means carbon-neutral production while using as few resources as possible. The idea behind this is energy-efficient cultivation of living matter as a biological basis for the extraction of raw materials to process them into products. They should ultimately be returned to the natural cycle.
At Festo, the learning company, we have looked to biology as a source of inspiration and a teacher for decades. Over the years, our bionic engineers have created and developed a wide range of technological innovations. The experience we have gained in this process, our automation technology and our know-how in control engineering make us an optimal partner for the cultivation of biomass on an industrial scale.
