This year, we’re coming together as one region. At BIO-Europe 2026 in Cologne, taking place November 9–11, we’ll host a joint Nordic Pavilion alongside our Nordic partners, creating a strong, unified Nordic presence that showcases our region as one of the world’s leading life science ecosystems for innovation, investment, partnering, and business expansion.
The pavilion is designed as an open booth, a welcoming meeting place where companies and partners can connect. A dedicated screen will rotate content from the Nordic countries and the companies joining the pavilion, giving each participant visibility throughout the event.
