The German Biotech Days are back in Leipzig after 10 years! Join the experts on April 21 & 22 for research insights, business opportunities – and a unique glimpse into the city’s thriving life science ecosystem.

On April 21/22, the Who’s Who of the biotech community will be in Leipzig for the German Biotech Days (DBT 2026) – so you won’t want to miss it! A range of keynotes, roundtables, workshops, and exhibits will be covering scientific advances and strategic business develop-ment in biotech. Attendees can also attend in-person and virtual partnering sessions free of charge. The first conference day ends with an evening reception at the iconic Moritzbastei, where guests can wine, dine, and network accompanied by live music.

The conference finale on April 22 is marked by the Innovation Tour, where guests can experience firsthand why Leipzig ranks as a top life science cluster. The city’s BioCity Campus is where research meets industry, a dedicated translation hub that helps innovations cross the ‘valley of death’ on their path to market. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the world-class research institutions and rising start-ups that are helping to pioneer life-changing products and services.
