REGIONALLY

the event provides a home for the industrial biomanufacturing community in the Midwest and will facilitate, much needed, knowledge sharing and collaboration.

DOMESTICALLY

the event will connect the wider 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.

GLOBALLY

the event will promote the capabilities of the region to Europe and Asia and why it is a great place to do bio business.

I really think Bio Innovations Midwest has been a home run. We’ve met people that we’ll have ongoing conversations with, we’ve made connections that are going to move the bioeconomy forward. That’s the magic of this format, those one on one conversations that happen here and really nowhere else.”

For us, success means making bio the new normal

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.

A unique focus on commercial 1-2-1 meetings

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.

Why should you attend?

An event with a 100% focus on deal creation and the commercialisation of industrial biomanufacturing
Built around pre-arranged, targeted 1-2-1 meetings, so you know who you are going to meet before you arrive
Every attendee has paid to be in the room, resulting in a senior, motivated and highly engaged audience ready to do business
A compact, easy-to-navigate venue enabling more targeted networking and less looking for a needle in a haystack

WHY NEBRASKA?

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.

With the market opportunities afforded by the bioeconomy boosted by Biden’s Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation in 2022, conditions are perfect for Nebraska to continue its push into the biobased value chain and become the prime biomanufacturing hub in the U.S.

The biobased economy is gigantic for the future. It’s our Silicon Valley.”
