ECB2026 is aimed at a broad biotechnology audience including:

• Researchers, scientists, and technicians from academia and research institutes
• Industry professionals and biotechnology companies
• Policymakers and stakeholders interested in biotechnology’s role in health, food, energy, and the environment
• Early-career researchers and students wanting to present work and build connections

The programme features plenary lectures, symposia across four scientific streams, networking opportunities, and a trade exhibition — making it valuable for anyone involved in biotechnology research or application.
