Biotech in the Heart of Europe
10-13 November 2026
The European Summit of Industrial Biotechnology (esib) is going to take place in Graz/Austria. The second largest city of Austria is a fascinating, beautiful and nice place. This year, esib is teaming up with MaPEB - the International Conference on Metabolic & Protein Engineering for Biosynthesis.
ABOUT THE EVENT - esib MEETS MaPEB
esib - one of the biggest biotech conferences in Europe serves as an international platform for industrial biotechnology in multiple contexts. The event not only covers science but also deals with industrial needs and hopes, economic demands, funding resources or political aspirations and still leaves space for networking and recreation. esib encourages all protagonists of industrial biotechnology to think outside the box and in new comprehensive dimensions.
MaPEB - the International Conference on Metabolic and Protein Engineering for Biosynthesis sets the stage for the cutting-edge intersections of metabolic and protein engineering, with a specific focus on the engineering and de novo design of complex biological systems. Our program explores how biosynthetic pathways and metabolic networks can be engineered to solve current challenges.
THE esib TOPICS
The guiding threads of esib 2026 are the following:
-
Circular Bioeconomy and Biotechnology for Environment
-
Artificial Intelligence and Biopharmaceutical Production
-
Creating Value in biotechnology
-
Get to know the Biotech Networks
THE MaPEB TOPICS
-
Metabolic Engineering: Advanced strategies for the engineering and optimization of both primary and secondary metabolism.
-
De novo Design: Techniques for constructing new biosynthetic pathways.
-
Protein Engineering: Tailoring enzymes and proteins specifically to drive novel metabolic functions.
-
Methodologies: Novel tools and methods in protein engineering to accelerate discovery and application of biocatalysts.
