LAB for fast growing materials
Institute of Engineering Design and Materials Science – University Innsbruck
GROWNlab develops material technologies based on holistic bioeconomic concepts for the substitution of fossil raw materials.
We see the solution in the potential of cascading utilisation of residual materials from agriculture that promotes soil health and biodiversity.
GROWN was founded in 2023 as a Unit at MIT (Material Technology Innsbruck) to expand the university’s range of expertise in the field of fast growing raw materials.
We see our core task in developing contextualised material technology solutions and product developments for industries such as construction and mobility.
With an interdisciplinary approach, we view raw materials as part of circular bioeconomy systems and develop our technology concepts accordingly at the interface between agriculture and holistic value chains in the context of the Alpine region as our habitat.
