Event Will Be Held in Omaha on September 24-25, 2024
In a groundbreaking initiative set to catalyze the growth of biomanufacturing in the Midwest, World Bio Markets has announced the launch of “Bio Innovations Midwest.” The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) and Bio Nebraska are partnering with World Bio Markets on this two-day event. The gathering will convene pioneers in bioindustry, facilitate knowledge exchange and networking, and present the Midwest as the heartland of the US bioeconomy.
Why Nebraska?
“I can’t think of a better location to host the first-ever Bio Innovations Midwest event than Omaha, Nebraska. The Midwest, especially Nebraska, is at the very center of the rapidly growing biomanufacturing sector in the United States and this event will provide an opportunity to showcase Midwest companies, innovations and assets. Having the organizers of World Bio Markets behind this event only magnifies the event’s importance and the need to commercialize today’s bioeconomy.”
— Rob Owen, Executive Director, Bio Nebraska
Regionally, the event will serve as a connection point for the biomanufacturing community and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Domestically, the event will draw together companies in the wider value chain and will help innovators scale from lab, to pilot, to demo, to commercialization at greater speed and with a higher success rate. Globally, the event will promote the capabilities of the Midwest to companies based in Europe and Asia and underscore the region’s advantages as a great place to do bio business.
“The US bioeconomy has a crucial role to play in reducing the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels, revitalizing manufacturing and contributing to the goal of creating a net-zero carbon economy. As such, we, the owners of World Bio Markets in Europe, are delighted to be launching an event dedicated to driving the growth of biomanufacturing in the Midwest.”
— Paul MacDonald, Partner & Head of Community, World Bio Markets
