OWL INCUBATOR
design by nature
Intention, intelligence and creativity can bring people together to solve our most pressing challenges.
Solutions exist, even for modern day seemingly ‘wicked’ problems. Some solutions are hiding in plain sight - time tested and proven. By nature.
There are design elements in nature that tell a deeper story about problem resolution.
Many of these are revealed as patterns of iconic and striking beauty, like spirals. Humans have long mimicked natural design. The structure of honey combs achieves maximum strength with minimal material, a lesson in efficiency that has shaped aerospace design and lightweight construction.
Natural patterns reveal solutions honed over time, sometimes shaped by necessity.
Or scarcity. Competition. Efficiency. Adaptation. Connectedness. Facilitation. Hierarchies. Scale. Change. Interactions. Feedbacks. Amplification.
How alike, our modern world?
What parallels exist between the design of solutions in nature, and our present-day challenges?
Nature’s intelligence doesn’t reside in the parts, but in patterns - how those parts connect, adapt, and evolve.
At Owl Incubator, we study these living designs to build human systems that are as resilient as the ecosystems they imitate.
With proven success at building, connecting and deploying knowledge capital; finding David-sized fixes to Goliath-sized problems; and bringing improbable outcomes to fruition.
We established Owl Incubator Inc. to turn difficult problems into elegant solutions.
We see Canada as a nation poised to harness this bounty and take our place in the emerging world reality, as a global leader.
And we’re on the frontlines to be a part of that future.
