The only event dedicated to scaling industrial biomanufacturing in Asia-Pacific
Bio Innovations APAC connects over 250 bio-pioneers through a programme of pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings, knowledge exchange, and networking.
The two-day business development event facilitates commercial connections and generates deal flow between bio-developers & producers, chemical manufacturers, consumer brands & intermediates, community enablers, investors & financiers and suppliers.
The unique 1-2-1 meetings format makes it easy for companies to meet new customers and partners, grow business development pipelines, source new innovations, secure investment and scale at a faster rate.

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.
It’s not just networking, it’s deal making.

Why Singapore?
We’re thrilled to have strong support from key government bodies – Singapore Consortium for Synthetic Biology (SINERGY) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) – who see our Bio Innovations events as a real driver for bringing together regional players and sparking progress.
The event will help Singapore cement its spot as APAC’s innovation hotspot, championing practical research, tech advancements, and global collaborations that put the region front and centre in the worldwide bioeconomy—while giving a boost to startups, scale ups and big names in bio-based materials.
With strong IP protection, attractive incentives and world-class infrastructure, Singapore creates the perfect ecosystem to accelerate growth in biomanufacturing and the wider bioeconomy.
Its strategic location makes it the ideal gateway to the fast-expanding Asia-Pacific market, positioning the event at the centre of the region’s rise as a global industrial biomanufacturing leader.
Focused on commercial 1-2-1 meetings
Unlike typical conferences, Bio Innovations APAC 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. Since our first event in 2022, the number of meetings taking place per year has increased by 980%.
