esib is one of the largest biotech conferences in Europe and serves as an international platform for industrial biotechnology in multiple contexts. The event covers not only science but also deals with industrial needs and hopes, economic demands, funding resources and political aspirations and still leaves space for networking and recreation.

esib encourages all protagonists of industrial biotechnology to think outside the box and in new comprehensive dimensions.

The main themes of this year’s event are 

• Circular Bioeconomy – Biotechnology for Environment
• Artificial Intelligence & Biopharmaceutical Production
• Creating Value in Biotechnology
• Get to know the Biotech Networks

In 2026, esib is proud to co-host the International Conference on Metabolic & Protein Engineering for Biosynthesis (MaPEB, 12^th – 13^th November 2026) setting the stage for the cutting-edge intersections of metabolic and protein engineering, with a specific focus on the engineering and de novo design of complex biological systems.

 The Enterprise Europe Network team of the SFG is organising the B2B meetings in a session entitled “Science meets Economy” on day 2 (11 November from 6:15 – 7:45 pm).
