AseBio announces the Green Innovation Forum2026, which will take place in Salamanca on 20–21 April 2026, positioning the city as a meeting point for green biotechnology, bioeconomy and sustainable innovation in Europe.
The Green Innovation Forum is designed as a meeting point for business development, bringing together companies, startups, investors, technologycentres and institutions committed to accelerating the green transition through biotechnology. The previous 2024 edition brought together 216 participants, from 123 organisations represented and 195 one-to-one meetings, confirming the growing interest in this specialised forum.
For the 2026 edition, the Green Innovation Forum strengthens its positioning by broadening its scope to further integrate the agrifood and foodtech sectors, reflecting their increasing convergence with green biotech, the bioeconomy and sustainable innovation. This evolution responds to the need for cross-sector collaboration to address global challenges.
