Eh, industrialization is heavily dependent on metallurgy.

What is the word industrial? Metallurgy, mass production, interchangeable parts, and the steam engine. Materials, tools, efficiency techniques, and energy.

The other aspect of industrialization is the sheer scale of it.

Honestly the only thing that comes close IMO is a lot of the cellular mechanisms. It uses materials in novel ways, efficient protein devices, and ATP energy. But I don't think it would scale to macro levels.

Maybe you could squint and look at ant/insect colonies?
