European Summit of Industrial Biotechnology (esib) 2026 in Graz
The registration for acib’s well established platform event, the European Summit of Industrial Biotechnology (esib 2026) has opened recently! This year, esib 2026 is held together with the International Conference on Metabolic and Protein Engineering for Biosynthesis (MaPEB) and unites the leading representatives of industry, academia and politics in Graz.
The conference will take place in Graz from 10th to 13th November 2026 and will focus on
- Circular bioeconomy and biotech for environment
- AI and biopharmaceutical production
- Creating value in biotechnology
- Get to know the biotech networks
We are looking forward to the key note lectures from our confirmed speakers about Trends in Circular Bioeconomy (Jens Nielsen – Chalmers University, Sarah Hickingbottom – Futurebridge, Michael Köpke – Lanzatech) and Trends in AI & Biopharmaceutical Production (Richard Braatz – MIT, Patricia Wildberger – Takeda, Michelangelo Canzoneri – Merck).
What is going on in biotechnology on a global level? What do we learn from newest project developments, how to interact in international networks? And how to create value from biotechnological innovations?
