From Ideas to Impact: Bio-Innovation for a Sustainable Future

This discussion will explore how scientific research can be transformed into impactful bio-innovation and sustainable business ventures. Bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, the panel will examine the pathways that connect laboratory discoveries to real-world applications. The conversation will highlight how cross-sector collaboration between science, innovation, and policy can accelerate the transition from knowledge to impact and improve our lives. Q&A will be organised after the talks.

Following the panel discussion, there will be presentations from PhD students groups participating to the Pacific Bio-Innovation Hackathon : From Lab to Impact. After two days of thinking and mentoring, they will pitched their innovation in front of a high-level jury.

After the award ceremony, drinks and nipples will be served to extend networking opportunities.
