World Bio Markets returns to The Netherlands in 2023

World Bio Markets is the leading international business event for the global bioeconomy community, connecting over 400 industry leaders with a two-day programme of knowledge exchange, 1-2-1 meetings, and networking.

We bring together the right people in the right environment in order to accelerate the transition to a fossil-free economy.

 

The two-day event connects and generates deal flow between bio developers and producers, global brands and buyers, investors and financiers, suppliers and community enablers.

 

Let us help you commercialise, scale your business, and tap into growing markets as the world goes through the biggest transformation and re-allocation of capital and jobs in its history.
