MTPConnect invites you to join members of the AAA, international delegates and biotechnology luminaries along with Australian BIO delegates, including business leaders, Government officials, scientists and venture capitalists, at their BIO 2026 Dinner, a high-level networking event formerly kicking off a hectic BIO 2026 week.
You will hear opening remarks from the Hon. Steven Marshall AO, AAA President and the Hon. Jaala Pulford, MTPConnect Chair.
And MTPConnect has lined up a fascinating guest speaker – Delian Asparouhov, Founders Fund Partner (a San Francisco based venture capital firm investing in companies building revolutionary technologies) and Varda Space Industries Co-Founder. Varda Space Industries, a microgravity-enabled life sciences company, is pushing the bounds of innovation in the orbital economy by manufacturing pharmaceuticals and advanced materials that can’t be made as effectively on Earth, revolutionizing biopharma production and enabling cutting-edge microgravity research.
The evening will bring the Australian delegation together and provide an unparalleled opportunity to showcase Australia’s thriving life sciences. Bring your team, international partners, potential clients and influencers and be part of this unique event celebrating and elevating the many advantages of Australia’s global hub for biotech innovation, medical research, clinical trials, and advanced manufacturing.
