driving commercialisation
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 commercialisation
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.
The format
It's not just networking. It's deal making.
Unlike typical conferences, Bio Innovations Europe 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.

Our Growth
a growing event where meetings get made and business gets done
One thing is clear, and that is the need to meet face to face, connect and do business is more important than ever in this sector — and our growth proves that. Last year, we facilitated over 1,300 meetings – a YoY increase of 25% and a 710% increase since our launch in 2022!

The agenda
learn from real life insights and solutions
The conference sessions, running parallel to the 1-2-1 meetings program, underpins the event’s core mission of scaling industrial biomanufacturing in the region.
A carefully curated program of company presentations, guest speakers and panels will deliver actionable insights and solutions to critical industry challenges – sparking transformative 1-2-1 commercial discussions.
How can bio-based alternatives compete with fossil-based incumbents?
Explore how bio-based chemicals, materials and ingredients can match or outperform petrochemical incumbents on cost, performance and scale. Look at real-world applications already succeeding in packaging, automotive, personal care, coatings and specialty chemicals, and how advances in fermentation, continuous processing and process intensification are closing the gap.
What do European buyers of bio-based chemicals and materials want?
Hear directly from chemical majors, consumer brands and industrial end-users on the practical criteria that drive adoption. Beyond sustainability claims, buyers prioritise consistent quality and performance at scale, supply security, competitive pricing, regulatory readiness and clear carbon accounting. Understand what suppliers must deliver to convert pilots into meaningful commercial contracts.
How can the EU build the right policy, regulatory and incentive frameworks for industrial biomanufacturing?
Join policymakers, industry leaders and investors to explore progress on the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, the Biotech Act (and expected Biotech Act II), the Bio-based Europe Alliance, Critical Chemicals Alliance, green public procurement and bio-based content measures — and how these tools can create stronger demand, attract private capital and accelerate commercial-scale deployment.
Why is scale-up still so challenging in Europe — and where are companies finding success?
Moving from demonstration to commercial production remains a major hurdle due to high capital costs, complex permitting, technology risk and the need for large-scale offtakes. Explore how new policy incentives, public and private financing tools, offtake-backed models and shared open-access infrastructure are helping European companies bridge the “double valley of death.”
How can Europe secure sustainable and competitive feedstocks at scale?
Europe’s agricultural and forestry residues, industrial side-streams, food-processing waste, secondary biomass and emerging sources such as captured CO₂ offer real potential, yet availability, cost, certification and logistics remain constraints. Explore practical routes to reliable, circular feedstock supply chains that support competitive biomanufacturing without conflicting with food or biodiversity goals.
How can we bridge the funding gap for Europe’s next-generation biorefineries and biomanufacturing plants?
Commercial-scale projects still face high upfront costs, technology risk and long payback periods. Discuss the evolving mix of public instruments (CBE JU, European Competitiveness Fund, national schemes, EIB), private capital, offtake-backed financing and blended models that are helping de-risk the journey from demonstration to industrial deployment.
How will AI and digital tools accelerate European biomanufacturing scale-up?
AI is moving from research into industrial impact — strain design, process optimisation, real-time monitoring and quality control. Learn how European companies are using AI and advanced data systems to raise yields, cut costs, shorten scale-up timelines and strengthen competitiveness.
How are geopolitics, trade and strategic autonomy reshaping industrial biomanufacturing in Europe?
Supply-chain vulnerabilities, energy-price volatility and global competition have elevated biomanufacturing as a strategic priority. Explore how Europe can build resilient regional value chains, retain industrial capacity and IP, and stay competitive while advancing the goals of the Clean Industrial Deal and the EU’s open strategic autonomy ambitions.
