Our

MISSION

Born Global's mission is to drive innovation commercialization in a Global Bioeconomy.

Our Vision

BORN GLOBAL BIOECONOMY 2050

Circular Zero-Waste Biohub Ecosystems

We focus on Economic, Process and Product innovation at the intersection of:

Energy & Food

WHO WE SERVE

By starting with what is already there, we seek out the communities challenged by a fast-changing economy and their distressed assets. Bioeconomy 2050 is our campaign that starts with a rural resurgence movement about Social Balance, Economic Prosperity and Healthy Environments.

We aim to bring innovation back to nature and dignity back to hard work.

Our vision of a Global Bioeconomy is led by the unsung heroes: the builders, farmers, fisherman, scientists, educators, creatives and storytellers.
