The new business event for the US bioeconomy

Bio Innovations Midwest is the new event dedicated to driving the exciting growth of industrial biomanufacturing in the U.S.

On 24-25 September, over 400 industry leaders will connect in Omaha via a programme of pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings, knowledge exchange and networking.

Brought to you by World Bio Markets, this two day event will present the Midwest as the heartland of the US bioeconomy and will generate deal flow between bio developers and producers, global brands and buyers, investors and financiers, community enablers and suppliers.

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.

1-2-1 MEETINGS

Bio Innovations Midwest is unique in its focus on commercial meetings

Highly targeted and pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings are key to accelerating the growth of the bioeconomy and are at the heart of Bio Innovations Midwest.

Our format removes the element of luck from traditional networking and provides the most cost and time efficient way of connecting with potential new customers and partners.

In the run-up to the conference, all attendees can view each other’s profile and pre-arrange 20-minute meetings via our online planner.

Bio Innovations Midwest is the only event

  • dedicated to driving the growth of industrial biomanufacturing in the Midwest

Companies invest in Bio Innovations Midwest to

I can’t think of a better location to host the first-ever Bio Innovations Midwest event than Omaha, Nebraska. The Midwest, especially Nebraska, is at the very center of the rapidly growing biomanufacturing sector in the United States and this event will provide an opportunity to showcase Midwest companies, innovations and assets. Having the organizers of World Bio Markets behind this event only magnifies the event’s importance and the need to commercialize today’s bioeconomy.

TRACK RECORD

In 2023 our Europe based event, World Bio Markets, returned to its spiritual home in The Netherlands and facilitated over 700 pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial deal flow meetings and inspired hundreds of additional informal connections.

The energy in the room was incredible as 350 bio-pioneers, from 36 countries, came together to drive the growth of the sector through unity and collaboration.

World Bio Markets provides us with a unique opportunity to understand what stage of development organisations are in and who we should be partnering with. We are in the process of changing the world wide economy and events like this are imperative if we are to do it at the speed required. We will be back in 2024 with the whole team.

World Bio Markets efficiently connects the bioeconomy value chain. From feedstocks to biotech to consumer brands and retail and everything in between. I believe that this event will grow year on year and cement its position as the ‘must attend’ event for the bioeconomy.
