At the heart of one of Europe’s strongest life science clusters, life – the biomedical convention brings together the unique strengths of the Rhine-Neckar region: a dense concentration of global pharma companies, world-class research institutes, well-established medium-sized enterprises, and a growing number of thriving start-ups — the perfect breeding ground for innovation in the life sciences. 

 

Orchestrated by the bioRN Life Science Cluster – the regional innovation hub fostering translation and collaboration – life showcases cutting-edge research and the latest biomedical innovations to an audience of top scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders from across Germany and neighboring countries.

 

This year’s expanded program introduces two new tracks:

- Regional Innovation Spotlights, featuring the most promising advances from our ecosystem

- Synthetic Biology for Life Science Applications, highlighting pioneering research and the new Excellence Cluster SynthImmun.

 

NEW: The International Investors Panel will explore how smart capital can accelerate the next generation of biotech innovation — from early-stage discovery to market-ready solutions. Together with leading investors from Sound Bioventures, M Ventures, and Invivo Partners, we will discuss how strategic investment, partnerships, and ecosystem engagement create sustainable impact beyond financial return.

 

With 500 participants and 30+ exhibitors expected, life – the biomedical convention is the gateway to discovering the Rhine-Neckar life science ecosystem, exploring new opportunities for collaboration, and experiencing one of Europe’s most dynamic innovation regions — all in one day.
