iBC25 - International Bioeconomy Conference 2025

June 17-19, 2025 // Georg-Friedrich-Händel-Halle // Halle (Saale), Germany

The global economic climate is currently precarious, with companies searching for the strategies that will keep them competitive in the future. The essential shift towards a future not reliant on fossil fuels brings with it numerous challenges and risks. However, it also creates significant opportunities. Where do these opportunities lie? What are the policy frameworks required to help them succeed? How can we manage potential risks? And are there existing role models that we can learn from? These are the key topics we aim to explore with you at the International Bioeconomy Conference, held in the heart of Germany. Let us shape the future together at IBC25!

Over the past 13 years, the Bioeconomy Conference has established itself as Central Germany’s leading symposium for stakeholders from different fields of bioeconomy.
