Interview exclusive de Barbara BELVISI, Fondatrice et CEO d’Interstellar Lab. 📌 Dans son entretien exclusif avec The New Siècle, Barbara Belvisi partage les coulisses de l’aventure des BioPods : les compromis indispensables pour transformer une vision radicale en réalité industrielle, les usages déjà concrets de ces habitats futuristes sur le terrain, et la manière dont cette architecture ouvre la voie à de nouveaux modèles de territoires adaptés aux défis environnementaux qui s’annoncent. En 2018, elle claque la porte du capital-risque pour bâtir un projet visionnaire : Interstellar Lab. À 33 ans, son ambition est de créer des écosystèmes autonomes (BioPods) capables de reproduire les conditions de la Terre dans des environnements extrêmes. Diplômée de l’EM Lyon, passée par le Private Equity et les fonds tech, elle troque l’ingénierie financière pour une radicalité inédite : l’ingénierie du vivant. Depuis 2022, l’entreprise dispose d’un centre à Ivry-sur-Seine pour le développement terrestre, et d’un autre à Cap Canaveral, au Kennedy Space Center, pour les modules spatiaux, en collaboration avec la NASA. 👉 Une lecture qui interroge les frontières entre biotechnologie, agriculture et exploration spatiale. Géraldine BOICHÉ remercie Barbara Belvisi pour la confiance accordé à The New Siècle. https://lnkd.in/e3xEgjDb

At #SIDO2025 in Lyon, our Chief Product Officer Jim Rhoné took part in the plenary round table about Industrialization of space moderated by David Gal-Regniez with Lombard Sebastien (CNES), Fabien Apper (U-Space) and Octave de Gaulle (SPADE). During this insightful discussion, he shared how our autonomous biospheric systems - BioPods on Earth and BioCapsules in orbit -are designed as standardized bricks of bioproduction for future stations and vehicles.

SIRIUS at #ClimateWeekNYC! 🌎 SIRIUS, our cutting-edge BioPod for natural ingredients R&D, was showcased at L'Oréal Groupe’s booth during #ClimateWeekNYC 2025. Powered by GAIA, our proprietary AI, it automates the cultivation of rare and high-value plants under fully optimized conditions - ensuring scalable, reproducible, and sustainable production. SIRIUS highlights the L'Oréal–Interstellar Lab partnership, focused on developing new sourcing opportunities by combining nature and technology. Together, we aim to revolutionize the sustainable cultivation of rare botanicals, powering the next generation of high-performance, plant-based fragrance and cosmetic ingredients. Following the event, SIRIUS will be installed at L'Oréal’s new R&I Center in Clark, NJ, continuing our mission to transform the future of beauty.

At #ClimateWeekNYC, our CEO Barbara BELVISI joined Ana Kljuic, PhD, Adam R. Jones from L'Oréal, and Tony Martens from Plantible for a panel at The Nest Climate Campus to discuss scaling the production of sustainable, bio-based ingredients. Ana Kljuic highlighted: “Centella Asiatica is in our La Roche Posay Balm B5 product. (...) We’re working with our partner Interstellar Lab to see how we can use Biopods to grow Centella asiatica in a new way.” Adam R. Jones added: “ Biopod grows in a controlled, cultivated way and saves 99% water usage. (...) We rely on our partner to bring us that technology and we rely on ourselves to scale it up and move it along.” Barbara BELVISI emphasized : “L'Oréal’s goal is to have 75% of the ingredients be bio-based. We started working on specific extracts from plants that are used in products people use every day, like perfume and cream. We moved from proof of concept to pilot production. Now what we're looking at the next phase : scaling" “Interstellar Lab’s Pods are helping us really reinvent what a green or sustainable ingredient of tomorrow will be" concluded Ana. We are proud to partner with L'Oréal to shape together the sustainable beauty of tomorrow!

Excited to announce that Barbara BELVISI, CEO of Interstellar Lab, will be joining the panel “Space for Earth: Breakthrough Era of Innovation for Planetary Progress” today at the 8th Annual Leaders on Purpose CEO Event in New York City. The session will be moderated by Dr. Tatiana (Kazakova) Tarnowski, Co-Founder of Leaders on Purpose, alongside Anand Subramanian, Chief Growth Officer at Axiom Space. Held during #ClimateWeekNYC and the #UNGA80, the event convenes global leaders to explore transformative solutions at the intersection of AI, energy innovation, and natural capital. Barbara will share her perspective on how space technology can advance sustainability on Earth, reflecting Interstellar Lab’s mission to develop bio-regenerative habitats and life-support systems. 👉 Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/gqWQKWHA

Last week at the 35th IFSCC Congress in Cannes, Interstellar Lab joined the round table “Shooting for the Stars: Space research as a catalyst for cosmetic discovery,” moderated by Dr. Isabelle Castiel-Higounenc, Research Project Director at L'Oréal R&I. Our Chief Product Officer Jim Rhoné shared how BioPods on Earth and BioCapsules in orbit open new pathways for cosmetic science through sustainability, resource efficiency, and seed-to-ingredient traceability. In microgravity, plants reveal unique properties - transforming essential oils, enhancing active compounds, and unlocking new molecules for next-generation ingredients. This vision advances in 2026 with the launch of our EDEN BioCapsule aboard Vast’s Haven-1 station, starting with Mission Little Prince and a rose experiment in orbit to pioneer plant science for cosmetic innovation. #IFSCC2025 #cosmeticscience #space #innovation #sustainability Audrey Berthier (MEDES - Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology), Paul Kamoun, PhD, HDR (SpacePharma), Monica Monici (Università degli Studi di Firenze), Dr. Sebastien Vincent (European Space Agency - ESA), and Leonardo Surdo (ICE Cubes Service)
