Asia Bio Partnering Forum 2026 will take place on September 1 and 2, 2026, at Marina Bay Sands Convention Center in Singapore. Now entering its fourth year, the event focuses on cross-border partnerships, investment and business development across the Asia-Pacific life sciences sector. It brings together biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, medtech businesses, investors and strategic partners seeking licensing opportunities, funding and international expansion. More than 650 attendees are expected to participate, supported by over 2,500 scheduled one-to-one meetings involving companies and investors from more than 35 countries.
The forum is designed for biotech executives, pharmaceutical business-development teams, medtech companies, investors, venture capital firms, research-driven startups and professionals responsible for licensing and corporate partnerships. Participating companies range from emerging businesses developing new therapeutics and medical technologies to established pharmaceutical groups seeking regional partnerships. The partnering programme enables delegates to schedule targeted meetings before and during the event, while more than 300 licensing opportunities and presentations from over 30 selected companies provide additional channels for identifying potential technologies, assets and investment opportunities.
The 2026 conference programme examines the commercial and technological forces shaping life sciences partnerships across Asia-Pacific. Topics include biotech and medtech innovation, AI-driven drug discovery, investment trends, market-entry strategies, regulatory pathways and cross-border dealmaking. A featured keynote panel, The Future of Healthcare Innovation in APAC: Scaling, Partnering & Global Growth, explores how investment, artificial intelligence, digital health and international collaboration are influencing the next generation of healthcare companies. The event is followed by a dedicated digital partnering programme on September 8–9, extending business meetings beyond the two-day gathering in Singapore.
