As China embarks on the new journey of the 15th Five-Year Plan, biomanufacturing, a key future industry prioritized by the state, enters a critical period of development. Leveraging its industrial data platform for bio-based products and biomanufacturing, DT New Materials focuses on the commercialization of research achievements and builds an integrated resource hub connecting governments, industries, academia, research institutions and investors. Together with EnzymeBio（NingBo） and other industry-leading enterprises, DT New Materials will host the 2026 (5th) Synthetic Biology & Green Biomanufacturing Conference (SynBioCon 2026) in Ningbo, Zhejiang from August 26 to 28.

The conference centers on the commercialization of research outcomes, industrial pain points and development directions, and links high-quality resources at home and abroad. Featuring 5 thematic forums + 1 special forum + 5 concurrent events, it brings together government authorities, industrial parks, innovative enterprises, research institutes, industrial capital and overseas institutions for in-depth discussions on hot topics such as green chemical industry & new materials, marine biomanufacturing and innovative agriculture, future food & nutritional health, as well as AI-enabled biomanufacturing. We warmly invite practitioners across the industrial chain to register and participate, seizing the development opportunities of the biomanufacturing industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period!
