The Commercializing Industrial Biotechnology (CIB) conference spotlights best practices, lessons learned, and technology innovations for accelerating commercial production of bio-based products and building the circular bioeconomy. This is the premier conference focused on scale-up and commercialization of new products in the synthetic biology, fermentation, and industrial biotechnology spaces.
You’ll engage with industrial biotech leaders and practitioners as you explore the latest in the field — including developments that are driving a new wave of products. At CIB, you'll hear hard-won lessons from industry veterans — and draw inspiration for your own technology development efforts while learning and networking about new enabling technologies, products, market needs, and companies.
