LIFE RI serves as a campus-wide conduit that delivers meaningful benefits for the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. Biomaterials and biotechnologies have the potential to replace many conventional, resource-intensive, and polluting materials and processes, positioning them as key drivers of sustainable economic growth through innovative bio-inspired circular models. LIFE’s combination of research excellence and disruptive, next-generation biotechnologies is designed to transform modern circular business practices and shape national and international innovation policy.
By promoting circular economic pathways and embedding sustainability across supply chains, LIFE RI strengthens our societal, environmental, and climate commitments. It empowers regions to compete, lead, and thrive in emerging green global markets, fully aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
