Australia & New Zealand's Preeminent Biologics Conference
About the Event
Excellence in Biologics Manufacturing, Cell and Gene Therapy, and RNA Therapeutics for Australia & New Zealand's Future Biologics Industry.
With a biotechnology sector benchmarked for global excellence due to world-class facilities, researchers, and regulation, the ANZ region has a promising future for biologics innovation and manufacturing. The path ahead will require a focus on further commercial translation of research, and as such, partnerships and collaborations will be critical. Expanding sovereign manufacturing in Australia & New Zealand will also play a massive role in uplifting the sector in the region.
The 5th annual ANZ Biologics Festival 2027 is the region's premier conference that aims to gather the innovators, pioneers, and leaders in the biologics fraternity, including Biologics, Biosimilars, Vaccines, Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT), and RNA Therapeutics, to showcase the latest from ideation to commercialization phase and beyond. It provides the right environment to meet the entire biopharma fraternity under one roof.
Join us to bring investment to Australia & New Zealand's bio sector and explore a wealth of opportunities in biologics innovation, expanding the region's manufacturing footprint, and advancing cell and gene therapy and RNA therapeutics. The 2027 festival will feature dedicated tracks on Biologics Manufacturing, Cell and Gene Therapy, and RNA Therapeutics, offering a comprehensive view of the latest advancements and challenges in these critical areas.
