Trees are a living library that contain guidance for how to live in harmony with all that surrounds us. Join the AskNature Hive for a conversation with Strong by Form CEO Andrés Mitnik, who has built a company at the forefront of nature-inspired design and sustainable innovation. Strong by Form was a Ray of Hope Accelerator participant in 2022, and has developed Woodflow®, a patented technology that mimics the way trees grow to create lightweight, structurally optimized components using wood-based composites. By combining computational design with robotic manufacturing, they produce custom-formed pieces that use minimal material while maximizing strength—ideal for applications in architecture, furniture, and mobility.
In this live discussion, Andrés will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the design and production process, highlight real-world applications, and share how biomimicry has guided their success. This is a unique opportunity to learn how nature’s principles can lead to smarter, more sustainable solutions.
