Glowee believes in the power of nature to build a more responsible and liveable world. Glowee is a bioluminescence lighting system without external energy requirements. It uses the natural ability of luminescent bacteria to produce light.
Glowee diffuses a new type of light at the crossroads between biomimicry and synthetic biology: living, organic, liquid, and respectful of biodiversity and citizens.

What is
bioluminescence?

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by certain living organisms such as fireflies or glowworms, but also more than 80% of marine organisms.

A living material that produces light

We are developing a living raw material made from naturally bioluminescent marine bacteria that can be easily cultivated indefinitely in the laboratory.

Our core business: biotechnology.

We improve (without genetic modifications) these non-pathogenic and non-toxic bacteria, to make them more efficient in terms of light production (intensity, stability, efficiency).

Once the raw material is created, we develop suitable products to integrate this liquid light into it.

I HAVE A PROJECT I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS

Biological lighting, an alternative to artificial lighting

« 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress come from resource extraction and processing. »

Reduce the environmental impact of lighting

Thanks to a bio-sourced and biodegradable material made of grown marine bacteria, we reduce the consumption of limited resources and pollution of their extraction, transformation and exportation.

"look at nature, it is your future."

Leonardo DaVinci

Design more respectful landscapes for biodiversity and citizens

Thanks to a living, relaxing and hypnotic light that carries a magical imagination, we offer a new illumination philosophy. With a smooth rendering, it creates attractiveness, conviviality and a security feeling to a given space.
The goal: reduce the negative effects of lighting and visual pollution.
