  • Attending IBioIC conference was a highly enriching experience as it facilitated interaction and networking between industry/academic researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, exhibitors, policy makers, funding bodies and students, all under the same roof. It was easy to connect to like minded people who are pushing the agenda of sustainability using simple but highly effective bio-based innovation. I have made several useful contacts at the conference who would be able to help with my research work and overall professional development.

  • The IBioIC Annual Conference brings together people at every stage of their career, from students to Professors and CEOs. And from every type of organisation, from academia to micro businesses, to global corporates, and NGOs. Ideas are shared and collaborations are formed that will make real impact in society. It is more than a conference as it continues to be one of the key community events in the Industrial Biotech calendar.
