Looking back on a year of unprecedented industry collaboration, discovery and achievement, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) has begun announcing the featured speakers at this year’s BIO Digital, which runs June 10-11(pre-event) and 14-18 (live event), 2021.

Attendees at this year’s BIO Digital can expect a wide offering of programming centered around four key areas: How Biotech Changed COVID, How COVID Changed Biotech, Case Studies in Innovation and Bioeconomy in the Future. The virtual event includes two bonus days June 10-11 featuring the new “Innovation Stage” showcasing leading biotech regions, companies, patient groups, universities and more.
