Themes and actionable problem areas shaping the future of biotechnology in mining
Building the Research Roadmap
In November 2025, Homeworld Collective convened the Biomining Under Complex Conditions Workshop, bringing together researchers, mining professionals, biotechnologists, and other stakeholders to identify the most pressing challenges and opportunities in biomining. Through structured discussion and collaborative workshopping, participants generated a set of actionable problem statements spanning technical, institutional, and ecosystem challenges.
The themes below capture key patterns from the workshop, helping accelerate innovation and align stakeholders around critical barriers in biomining.
Detailed problem statements with full context, proposed approaches, and contributor attribution will be published soon. We thank the workshop participants whose input made this work possible.
