Southeast Asia's Only Co-Located Vaccine & Biologics Congress

14 - 15 October 2026 Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel, Indonesia

About the Event

Vaccine World Asia Congress – Southeast Asia and Biologics World Southeast Asia return in 2026 as a single co-located platform, uniting Southeast Asia’s vaccine and therapeutic-biologics communities under one roof in Jakarta. Together they convene policymakers, manufacturers, researchers, CDMOs, regulators, investors and technology partners driving the region’s fastest-growing areas of biopharma.

The Vaccine Congress spotlights infectious-disease immunisation, next-generation platforms (mRNA, recombinant, viral vectors, thermostable formulations) and the drive toward regional vaccine self-sufficiency, while Biologics World Southeast Asia focuses on the full therapeutic-biologics value chain — monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, ADCs and protein therapeutics, from R&D and translational science through bioprocessing, manufacturing scale-up and market access. Co-locating the two enables cross-industry exchange across the broader biopharmaceutical ecosystem while preserving each event’s distinct scientific and commercial agenda — positioning ASEAN as a competitive hub for both vaccines and biologics.
