ABOUT AP-CBIOVA 2026

The International Conference on Circular Bioeconomy and Bio-based Product Innovation — AP-CBioVa 2026 is a biennial scientific conference dedicated to advancing research, technology, and innovation in the sustainable conversion of biomass and bioresources into high-value bio-based products and materials in Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific region.

AP-CBioVa aims to establish a flagship regional platform connecting academia, industry, and policy stakeholders in the emerging circular bioeconomy, while fostering strong scientific collaboration with leading European universities, research centres, and innovation networks.

The conference will address the full bioresource value chain, from sustainable feedstock sourcing and green fractionation to molecular transformation, bio-based materials, and circular bioeconomy strategies, with a strong emphasis on innovation, environmental performance, and socio-economic impact. AP-CBioVa 2026 will promote interdisciplinary exchange and international collaboration between scientists, engineers, industrial practitioners, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers from the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and beyond, all committed to building resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable bio-based economies at regional and global scales.
