ABOUT

The Iowa Biotech Showcase & Conference: Striving Toward a Sustainable Future is a two-day conference on March 1-2, 2022, featuring a biotech pitch competition, networking reception, key collaborations sessions, industry-specific tracks, a plenary keynote and sustainability panel, an industry-focused legislative update, and a 1:1 meeting scheduler. IBSC brings together innovators, investors, educators, biotech leaders, and support vendors, and provides top-notch information and content for Iowa's diverse biotech industry.

The 2022 IBSC will return to its traditional in-person format and turn its focus toward addressing the various roles of sustainability in Iowa’s diverse biotech industry, as both the public and private sectors work to more seamlessly integrate sustainable solutions into everyday life. The biotechnology industry is a natural leader in this space, and Iowa is a breeding ground for innovators that are advancing the unlimited opportunities to create sustainable, biological solutions. The IBSC will closely examine Iowa’s role in sustainable biotechnology on the global stage.
