Company Description

Alive Labs develops regenerative systems for the built environment, drawing from ecological principles to reimagine how materials, organisms, and design coexist.

Our technology platform rests on three pillars:

• Material Innovation — developing bio-receptive composites such as Terranite®, engineered to support life and capture carbon.

• Biomass Advancement — applying directed-evolution and micro-ecological research to cultivate resilient moss ecosystems.

• Biomimetic Design — using architectural and engineering strategies inspired by natural systems to solve complex urban challenges.

Through these, we’re transforming architecture into a living interface between humanity and nature, an infrastructure that heals rather than harms.
