CEBioForum 2026 is a leading international biotechnology conference bringing together professionals from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. With over 20 years of tradition, CEBioForum serves as a trusted platform for dialogue, partnership-building, and knowledge exchange across the life sciences ecosystem.
The two-day event will take place in the modern spaces of CIC Warsaw, located in the very center of the city, and will feature a comprehensive program including high-level panel discussions, keynote presentations, startup pitch sessions, an exhibition area, and structured B2B networking supported by a dedicated event app. An evening networking reception and the CEBioForum Awards ceremony will further strengthen opportunities for meaningful connections.
The conference agenda will focus on the most relevant trends and challenges shaping the future of biotechnology and life sciences, including biotech and pharma innovation, medtech, clinical trials, data and AI in healthcare, venture capital and financing in CEE, cross-border collaboration, dual-use technologies, and pathways for scaling European innovations to global markets, particularly the US.
CEBioForum 2026 is the place to discover the dynamic Polish and CEE biotech ecosystem, meet decision-makers, investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers, and explore opportunities for collaboration, investment, and growth in one of Europe’s fastest-developing life science regions.
The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.
Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.
Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.
Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.
Algal Omega-3 is an innovative feed product for aquaculture. It reduces the impact on climate change by 30-40% compared to fish oil and saves 60 tons of wild fish for every ton of Algal Omega-3 used.
