Program & Theme

AusBiotech 2013 will feature the theme ‘bio-economy in transition’. The term ‘bio-economy’ was coined more than 15 years ago to describe the emerging economic activity derived from biotechnologies. Today we have made significant gains in building a ‘bio-economy’. AusBiotech 2013 will focus on the transformation of the Australian industry as it evolves and adapts to current global forces, in an effort to grow and become a more sustainable bio-economy – and what we can do to achieve the next level in a global context. The conference sessions will include discussions on domestic and international government policies, regulatory developments, trends, sourcing capital and investment in a global economic landscape and more.

The draft program will be available for viewing mid-April 2013. Keep checking back regularly for updated information.
