the event where science meets business
One thing is clear – the sector is at a tipping point. We already have enough great, innovative ideas. But the time has come to focus on enabling those existing solutions to commercialise and reach industrial scale. That’s what we’re here for.
Scientists talking to scientists has value but not as much as scientists meeting the partners and customers that can take their innovation from lab to market.
Built around 1-2-1 meetings
No wasted time. No hoping you'll bump into the right person. Just meaningful, pre-arranged business-development-driven conversations.
focused on commercialization
Two days dedicated to forging the deals, offtake agreements and long-term relationships that will shape the next decade of industrial biomanufacturing.
Designed to close the lab-to-market gap
Innovation isn't the bottleneck. Getting from pilot to production is, and this is where you'll form the partnerships needed to bridge that gap.
It's not just networking. It's deal making.
Unlike typical conferences, Bio Innovations North America is built around high-value, pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings – designed to spark strategic partnerships and drive commercial deals. We are globally recognised as the event where meetings are made, and business gets done.
