The conference

The World Bio Markets conference sessions play an important role in the central ‘commercialisation’ mission of the event.

Our content is carefully curated and acts as a catalyst for subsequent commercial meetings that take place outside of the theatre.

Our speakers have been hand-picked in order to provide ‘real life’ insights and solutions to the most common challenges facing the global industrial biomanufacturing community.

For us, success means making bio the new normal

Our mission is to contribute to the global adoption of industrial biomanufacturing, and enable bio-based solutions to achieve price parity with fossil-derived incumbents.

Our focus is on connecting commercialised bio producers with customers, and improving the success rates of startups and scaleups.

We’ll achieve our mission through continuing to embed ourselves within the sector, arrange targeted commercial meetings and curate world-class discussion and debate.

World Bio Markets is a great place to get new connections and have discussions with companies and organisations that are not part of your normal network."
