BIO-Europe 2026

BIO-Europe is Europe's largest life-science partnering conference, expecting 8,000+ professionals from 3,200+ companies across more than 60 countries at the 2026 Cologne edition. Its core is the partneringONE platform, which schedules tens of thousands of one-to-one meetings between biotech founders, pharma business-development teams and investors. Programming tracks cover regulatory pathways, clinical strategy, biomanufacturing and the funding landscape, with a dedicated start-up and early-stage presence. For a biotech or synthetic-biology founder raising capital or seeking a licensing partner, it compresses months of transatlantic travel into three days.
