BioVaria targets technology scouts, business developers and investors highlighting commercially attractive licensing opportunities and promising start‑ups from across Europe.
BioVaria is a leading event for innovation in the life sciences. Organized by Ascenion and other European technology transfer companies, it brings together potential licensees and investors from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries with scientists, founders and technology transfer experts from all over Europe. On April 27 & 28, 2026, first-class research institutions, universities and university hospitals will present around 70 selected, licensable life science technologies. This year again, projects in early stages of development will also be presented, including projects from Ascenion's Life Science Digital Hub, which is funded by GO-Bio initial.
The Startup Pitch & Partner programme at BioVaria has been a special highlight for years: start-ups selected by a jury are given the opportunity to present their projects to international and regional investors and win prize money.
