We did not modify what already existed. We grew a new possibility.

How it takes shape

We work at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science and design. Through a proprietary process, bio-based inputs are transformed into nanocellulose fibers. These fibers naturally self-assemble into dense, three-dimensional membranes.

The result is a material shaped by natural logic and scientific precision, with a structure that can be tuned from within and developed for real-world applications.

— A structure formed through growth
and guided by precision at every stage

Biotechnology process for developing next-generation sustainable materials

The Science unlocked

We work at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science and advanced processing.

Our method does not extract, harvest or synthetically assemble. It grows.

Our proprietary fermentation process cultivates specific microorganisms fed on bio-based inputs. As they grow, 

they produce and assemble nanocellulose fibers into a dense,

three-dimensional membrane.

This controlled process enables consistency, adaptability and a more efficient route from biological growth to material performance.

— Reduced resources. Controlled conditions.
New possibilities grown from within

Innovation at the highest level

Next Gen-Leather has been recognized by European institutions for its approach to material innovation and sustainable development.

It was selected under the EU SME Instrument Program Phase 1, and has received several EU Seals of Excellence as well as a WomenTechEU award.

The project reflects the growing demand for new materials that align with global environmental and industrial requirements.

— Recognized across Europe’s
innovation landscape
