In partnership with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development and Bio Nebraska, this two-day event will connect bio pioneers via a programme of 1-2-1 commercial meetings, knowledge exchange and networking, and will present the Midwest as the heartland of the US bioeconomy.

Why Nebraska?

“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.”

 -Rob Owen, Executive Director, Bio Nebraska

Regionally, the event provides a home for the biomanufacturing community 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.

"The US bioeconomy has a crucial role to play in reducing the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels, revitalizing manufacturing and contributing to the goal of creating a net-zero carbon economy. As such, we, the owners of World Bio Markets in Europe are delighted to be launching an event dedicated to driving the growth of biomanufacturing in the Midwest.”

-Paul MacDonald, Partner & Head of Community, World Bio Markets

Key Highlights of the Event

Bio Innovations Midwest is the only event committed to driving the growth of biomanufacturing in the region. With a focus on pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings, attendees will be able to make meaningful connections with the right people. This format connects and generates deal flow between bio developers, producers, global brands, buyers, investors, financiers, suppliers, and community enablers.

We will be welcoming VIP delegations from Europe and Asia who will attend special networking dinners and tours of local facilities. This will enable crucial worldwide learning and collaboration opportunities.
