A New Chapter in Fermentation Unfolds in Hangzhou, Pioneering the Future of Biotechnology | The 2026 Hangzhou Bio-Fermentation Exhibition Officially Announced; Call for Exhibitors Now Open

Exhibition Overview

BIO CHINA, the International Biofermentation Exhibition, was founded in 2013. After more than a decade of deep technological advancement and integrated industry resource development, it has grown into a highly influential annual trade event in the bio-manufacturing sector. The exhibition is held twice each year: the spring edition takes place in Jinan in March, while the autumn edition was originally scheduled for Shanghai in August. In 2026, in response to evolving market demands, the autumn show will officially be relocated to Hangzhou and held in September.

Hangzhou is focusing on the innovation and upgrading of the bio‑manufacturing industry and the integrated industrial development of the Yangtze River Delta, while leveraging five core strengths—clustered industries, favorable policy frameworks, a pool of science‑and‑technology talent, digital empowerment, and broad market reach—making it a strategic choice for elevating the exhibition’s profile, expertise, and authority. The event will feature multi‑dimensional, specialized pavilions covering key sectors such as bio‑manufacturing, synthetic biology, proteins and bioactive peptides, the biopharmaceutical industry, biochemical instruments and laboratory equipment, and nutrition, health, and probiotic products, bringing together cutting‑edge products, technologies, and equipment to foster a comprehensive ecosystem for technological advancement and commercial exchange across the entire value chain.

The exhibition spans 30,000 square meters, with over 500 domestic and international companies participating. More than 45,000 buyers are expected to attend for networking and procurement. Concurrent events include 35 forums, new-product launch events, and targeted buyer‑supplier matchmaking sessions, featuring over 300 experts, professors, scholars, and corporate representatives who will share their academic insights. With more than 5,000 attendees, the event has expanded to cover the entire bio‑manufacturing value chain. It is designed as a professional platform integrating technological exchange, product showcases, business matchmaking, and industrial empowerment, rooted in the Yangtze River Delta yet reaching global markets, and committed to providing end‑to‑end smart manufacturing solutions for the bio‑manufacturing industry.
