The Meeting planner is still open!

Good news! The meeting planner will remain open until 25th September so you can continue to chat to your fellow attendees.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Bio Innovations North America - together, we WILL make bio the new normal

We welcomed a record number of attendees, all looking to connect with fellow bio-pioneers that are shaping the future of industrial biomanufacturing in North America. The event facilitated over 950 pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings across the two days, with a massive 70% increase in total connections. Presentations at the event were all recorded, and videos of them will be release shortly so watch this space.

We couldn’t have done this without the support of all our wonderful sponsors, partners and speakers – a huge thank you to each and everyone of you. We’ll be back in Omaha next year on 4-5 October, and we can wait to see each and every one of you again.

The Biomanufacturing Shark Tank

Congratulations to Kemvera and Lakril Technologies, the winners of the first ever NSF RuralSTAMINA Biomanufacturing Engine “Biomanufacturing Shark Tank” which took place on day one of Bio Innovations North America 2026!

The Radicle Corn challenge

We we’re delighted to announce the winners of The Radicle Corn Challenge Sponsored by U.S. Corn Farmers live at Bio Innovations North America. Congratulations to the winners – Citroniq and Future Origins!

“What distinguished these companies was not only the value of the market opportunities they are pursuing, but also the strength of their technology platforms and their pathway to scale,” said Neal Gutterson, Partner and Chief Technology Officer at Radicle Growth. “Citroniq and Future Origins are applying innovative chemistry and biotechnology to convert corn-derived feedstock into products that can compete in large, established markets. Their ability to leverage existing agricultural supply chains and replace non-renewable alternatives while delivering meaningful sustainability benefits makes them particularly compelling examples of how innovation can expand the role of corn in the bioeconomy.”

our speakers

The Bio Innovations North America conference agenda, running parallel to the 1-2-1 meetings program, is designed to drive the event’s core mission of driving the commercialization of US industrial biomanufacturing.

Carefully curated panels and keynotes aim to spark transformative 1-2-1 commercial discussions. Hand-picked speakers will deliver actionable insights and solutions to critical industry challenges, helping unlock the immense potential of America’s bioeconomy.
