Meet our exhibitors who will generously share valuable advice and insights to enhance your next expedition.
Basecamp Research
Basecamp Research began when they went to one of the harshest, most remote places in Europe to pioneer entirely off-grid metagenomic DNA analysis. Basecamp Research was founded on the belief that nature is better at creating proteins than any AI or scientist. They leverage their unprecedented knowledge of the natural world to create better food, better medicines and better products for the planet. They are proactively building biodiversity partnerships around the world that combine technology development and transfer, data sharing, capacity enhancement, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from biotechnology products they develop.

In order for the outdoor sector to thrive and be a regenerative agent in the face of climate change and biodiversity collapse (amongst other crises), the entire sector will have to experience a whole system shift.
