Europabio

Biotech & Biomanufacturing Policy Summit
2025-10-15 12:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Brussels)
EuropaBio is pleased to host its third Summit focused on biotechnology & biomanufacturing.

Biotechnology is a critical technology for Europe. Delivery of innovation into market drives competitiveness, security, supply chain resilience plus societal and environmental goals. Europe must be ambitious and globally aware, with a focus on securing its biotechnology capability within fast changing global geopolitics.

The current Commission has a significant opportunity to set and deliver on the ambition needed. Legislation such as the Biotech Act, plus the frameworks that we create for sectors including health, agri-food and manufacturing.

The half day Summit brings together EuropaBio Members and stakeholders to understand the ambition needed for legislation, how the EU and its Member States can deliver and recognition of global positioning needed.

It is supported by biotech product displays and EU projects, plus evening networking reception. It will be followed by a Summit Statement and public webinar hosted in November.
