Strong by form: High-performance bio-composites

Strong by form is a tech start-up focused on creating technological innovations within the construction, interiors and automotive industries to ensure societal advancement in alignment with environmental considerations. The developed technology, Woodflow, generates lightweight structural solutions using timber-based biocomposites. These materials have the potential to replace steel and concrete in industries such as infrastructure and mobility while reducing both weight and environmental footprint. Their design-to-manufacturing technology harnesses the natural strength of tree structures in engineered wood, blending digital design, structural optimisation, and fabrication to create lightweight yet high-performance structural wood-based composite parts. This innovative technology opens new possibilities for design, allowing the creation of modern interiors using the natural warmth of wood.
