Ilmac Conference, Day 3: Biotech and Biomanufacturing - Sustainability in biotechnological processes and products

The 3-day Ilmac Conference Basel 2025 invites you to discover the latest developments and innovations with a direct link to applications and industrial processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector.

Biotechnology is revolutionizing how we produce chemicals and pharmaceuticals. From alternative production methods like biocatalysis, to the production of modalities like biosimilars, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and synthetic mRNA vaccines, biomanufacturing innovations are opening new frontiers for efficiency and sustainability. Meet experts from big pharma, biotechs and academia who will share the latest developments and innovative approaches.
