71: Disrupting Construction with Sustainable Timber-Based Bio-Composites (ft. Jorge Christie)

Woodflow technology enables the use of wood-based composites for lightweight high-performance applications. The right control over the form and material architecture allows to produce stress-tailored structural parts capable of fully profiting from wood's performance. 

In today’s episode, we welcome Jorge Christie, CTO and Founder of Strong by Form. With him we discuss:

What inspired Jorge to be an entrepreneur and start Strong by Form.

🔹What Strong by Form’s core technology is and how it differs from traditional technologies in the timber industry.
