THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Bio Innovations Europe, the premier event dedicated to scaling industrial biomanufacturing in the region, is proud to announce that nova-Institute will return as a Headline Partner for its 2026 edition. This renewed collaboration reinforces the vital connection between renewable carbon innovation and commercial scale-up in Europe’s rapidly evolving bioeconomy.
Taking place on 10-11 June 2026 in The Hague, Bio Innovations Europe has seen exponential growth since its 2022 relaunch. The event, formerly known as World Bio Markets, has grown pre-arranged meetings from 160 to over 1,050 in 2025. This represents a 550% increase. The 2026 edition is set to be the largest yet, hosting more than 500 attendees and facilitating 1,500 commercial meetings between bio-developers & producers, chemical manufacturers, consumer brands & intermediates, community enablers, investors & financiers and suppliers.
The renewed partnership with nova-Institute comes at a critical moment for Europe’s transition to renewable carbon. As an independent research institute and consultancy specialising in the defossilisation of carbon-dependent industries, nova-Institute brings unparalleled expertise in biomass, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), and recycling. These are the three pillars of renewable carbon. Their work spans technology markets, sustainability assessment, policy strategy, and communications, making them an ideal partner to help bridge the gap between innovation and industrial implementation.
Paul MacDonald, Co-Founder & MD of Bio Innovations Europe, commented: “I am delighted that we have renewed and strengthened our alliance with nova-Institute. We are very different organisations but both world leaders in what we do and compliment each other perfectly. I can only see our relationship flourishing over the coming years and helping one another to achieve our respective missions.”
Dr. Lars Börger, CEO of the nova-Institute stated: “Bio Innovations Europe brings together a unique mix of bio-developers, chemical manufacturers, investors, policymakers and enablers, creating the perfect setting for productive discussions on scaling renewable carbon technologies. This complements our Renewable Materials Conference (RMC, 22-24 September 2026, Siegburg/Cologne), the forum with focus on leading solutions and innovations for replacing fossil carbon with biomass, CO₂ utilisation and recycling. Together, these events connect the various stakeholders needed to drive Europe’s defossilisation efforts forward.”
Bio Innovations Europe remains the only event specifically focused on the challenges of moving from lab to market. Alongside Headline Partners nova-Institute and EuropaBio, the event provides a unique platform for companies creating bio-based chemicals, ingredients, and materials to secure the partnerships and capital required to increase production volumes.
As 2026 marks a turning point for industrial biomanufacturing, Bio Innovations Europe stands as the definitive hub for those driving Europe’s green industrial transition.
