Annual Conference
IBioIC’s 11th Annual Conference
12 and 13 March 2025
Technology and Innovation Centre, George St, Glasgow
IBioIC25 was our 11th Annual Conference.
On Day 1 we examined the power of partnerships to build supply chains, innovations, and sectors with inspiring speakers from the world of engineering biology and biotechnology, from world class research to exciting SMEs, and leading innovation clusters.
On Day 2 we moved to explore how innovations can get to market and the challenges of generating investment to scale, the regulatory landscape, and branding and marketing.
There will be a new Innovation Showcase and lots of interactive workshops for a deeper dive into a variety of topics.
Watch the highlights reel below.

Bioeconomy Week Scotland
Bioeconomy Week Scotland 2024 took place between 11 and 15 March 2024.
Bioeconomy Week Scotland is a week devoted to celebrating the innovative, biobased, solutions being discovered and developed in Scotland.
What is the bioeconomy?
The bioeconomy is an important, and growing, part of Scotland’s economy. It uses natural resources and biological processes to improve the sustainability of all sorts of products from cosmetics and toiletries, to clothes, packaging, and building materials. It also supports the development of new therapeutics and medicines, finds innovative ways to use waste materials, and is contributing to lowering the carbon footprint of everything from food and drink to car batteries.

What previous participants have said about taking part in Bioeconomy Week Scotland
“Being part of Bioeconomy Week gave us an opportunity to raise our profile across industry and showcase our expertise and capabilities. It also presented us with the chance to host our first event within our new premises, allowing us a trial run and pushing our identity in our local area. ”
“Bioeconomy week was an excellent/flagship example of co-creation and was critical in communicating my work internally and externally”
“Bioeconomy Week Scotland helped us raise the profile of the humble daffodil from reducing methane in cows to extracting carotenoids and flavonoids to managing Alzheimer’s disease. We hope to have raised the profile of the ongoing work, and promote why farmers are important in the engagement of bioeconomy solutions. ”
“Highlighted the entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit of agri co-op to work with amazingly enthusiastic academics”
