IBioIC26 - BioSolutions for Tomorrow’s World

This year we are delighted to be in partnership with the BioBased and Biodegradable Industries Association (BBIA). The conference will once again bring together over 400 biobased industry professionals, researchers, policymakers, and supporting organisations to hear talks, case studies, and panel sessions and to take part in networking activities and workshops. The conference will focus on delivering tangible benefits for attendees, including cultivating strategic partnerships, facilitating new connections and collaborations, providing examples of best practice, understanding regulations, and effective communication. Visit the exhibition, innovation zone, and posters zone, take part in extensive informal networking opportunities and 1-1 partnering, and join an all-welcome civic reception at Glasgow City Chambers.

The theme of this year’s conference is BioSolutions for Tomorrow’s World, and we’ll be looking at biotech’s role in creating everyday items - from cosmetics to concrete - using biology, the factors influencing the adoption of alternative proteins, and water and its role in a healthy planet. We’ll showcase case studies from the various UK Launchpad programmes, and start up pitches in our new BioFactor pitching session. We’ll also explore the future in Biotech 2100. Workshops will offer useful know-how and insights, as well as the opportunity to contribute to specific discussions on key topics of the day.
