IBioIC25 was our 11th Annual Conference.

On Day 1 we examined the power of partnerships to build supply chains, innovations, and sectors with inspiring speakers from the world of engineering biology and biotechnology, from world class research to exciting SMEs, and leading innovation clusters.

On Day 2 we moved to explore how innovations can get to market and the challenges of generating investment to scale, the regulatory landscape, and branding and marketing.

There will be a new Innovation Showcase and lots of interactive workshops for a deeper dive into a variety of topics.
