in the Midwest, the event provides a home for the local industrial biomanufacturing community and will facilitate much needed knowledge sharing and collaboration.
the event will connect the wider U.S. biomanufacturing value chain and will help innovators scale from lab, to pilot, to demo, to industrial at a greater speed and with a higher success rate, promoting economic growth and job creation.
the event will promote the capabilities of the region to Europe and Asia and display why the U.S. is the global leader in industrial biomanufacturing.
Bio Innovations Midwest takes a unique “meeting-first” approach, prioritizing highly targeted, pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings that are key to accelerating growth in the sector.
By removing the element of chance from traditional networking, this format offers the most cost-effective and time-efficient way for you to connect with the new customers and partners needed to scale your businesses.
Our mission is to contribute to the global adoption of industrial biomanufacturing, and enable bio-based solutions to achieve price parity with fossil-derived incumbents.
Our focus is on connecting commercialised bio producers with customers, and improving the success rates of startups and scaleups.
We’ll achieve our mission through continuing to embed ourselves within the sector, arrange targeted commercial meetings and curate world-class discussion and debate.

Nebraska is the first state to have a bioeconomy roadmap in place – the Nebraska BioEconomy Initiative launched in August 2024 – which aims to advance Nebraska’s economic strength, fortify rural communities, and create sustainable, high-paying careers in the bioeconomy.
The state already has a solid base in bio-processing capacity, including facilities like the Blair campus, housing a cluster of major producers including Cargill, NatureWorks, Novonesis, Evonik, and Corbion.
Conditions are perfect for Nebraska to continue its push into the biobased value chain and become the prime biomanufacturing hub in the U.S.
We offer a variety of different ways to get involved at Bio Innovations Midwest 2025, ensuring there is the perfect option for everyone.
On 19-20 June 2025, World Bio Markets will connect over 450 industry leaders with a two-day programme of pre arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings, knowledge exchange, and networking in order to accelerate the transition to a fossil-free economy.
For 18 years World Bio Markets has been uniting and connecting the bioeconomy value chain from lab to market and driving change through commercially viable innovation.
