Bioregion Institute | Bergen is a design-driven interdisciplinary applied research team that is dedicated to bridging the gap between research and markets. Operating across sectors, industries, and territories, our goal is to accelerate the transition towards a circular and sustainable society. We specialize in developing biodegradable materials and products that contribute to the circular economy.

A core aspect of our work involves partnering with regions and cities to map their value chains and reduce waste flows, ultimately fostering circular strategies and more sustainable production systems. By promoting local competence and competitiveness within natural ecosystems, historical heritage, and cutting-edge technology, we help territories become more circular and environmentally conscious. At Bioregion Institute, our team consists of experienced researchers, designers, architects, and professionals from complementary fields.

Through our expertise in design thinking, we actively engage stakeholders and employ holistic approaches to solve complex challenges in various sectors such as the built environment, consumer goods, and more. Located in Bergen, Norway, our institute has already made significant contributions to the field. We have authored and designed the first Circular report for the City of Bergen, which will shape their upcoming climate strategy.

Join us in our journey from waste to grace as we strive to create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all
