EVENT SUMMARY:
BioHabana 2026 is the third edition of this scientific and business event. Innovation in health requires the interconnection of innovation ecosystems at a global level.
The internationalization of R&D&I activities and the globalization of high-technology companies are global trends in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical technology sectors. BioHabana 2026 will provide a space to build collaborative networks among scientists, opinion leaders, entrepreneurs, and business executives.
In the 21st century, the biological sciences are being transformed into a convergent science with nanoscience and data science, capturing the complexity of biological systems.
In addition, the concept of “One Health” teaches us the need for a holistic approach that encompasses not only human health, but also food production and environmental protection. A clean and intelligent industry is a necessity in our contemporary world.
Effectively harnessing all these new opportunities will also require changes in value chain management and business models, which must be addressed with creativity and organizational innovation.
Inspired by the success of previous editions of this event, BioCubaFarma, the Cuban Biotechnological, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Technology Industry Group, invites the global scientific and business community to the BioHabana 2026 Congress. In this third edition, together with scientists and business leaders, we aim to continue the debate initiated in previous editions and introduce new topics.
Connectivity and globalization will define BioHabana 2026. We look forward to welcoming you!
