While AI dominates headlines, researchers and startups are leveraging biology to transform manufacturing, supply chains, human health, and material science. These innovations are converging with AI, quantum computing and other exponential technologies to unlock unprecedented value and disrupt markets.
In May 2025 in San Diego, we will host experts, innovators, and executives from diverse industries to explore and shape the future of biotech-driven innovation. Join us to get ahead of the headlines and position yourself and your company to capitalize on this fundamental economic shift.
We are still at the very beginning of transforming our innovations, our organizations, and our selves in synergy with evolution and the natural world.
The Future of Biotech will be held at Liberty Station, an historic U.S. Navy base in San Diego that has been remodeled and repurposed as a world class event space. We'll be in the heart of the biotech industry, steeped in history, and bathed in Southern California sun.
Emerging advancements in biotech will impact every industry, from manufacturing to insurance. Gain the ability to forecast how biotech innovations will impact your industry, business, and life.
Modern geopolitics are driving a movement toward a decentralized global economy, localized production, and resilient communities. Biotech is fueling—and being fueled by—this shift, from bio-manufacturing to upcycling. Learn how to get ahead of this macro shift on behalf of your business, community, and state.
Learn how to use biology and biomimicry as a framework for innovation to build resilient products, services, systems, and leadership strategies that compete and thrive in the wild, no matter how hostile their environment.
Understand the balance between computational technology and biological technology, and discover possible tech futures that are molded to humanity, instead of humanity molded to tech.
From nutrition to diagnostics, biotech innovations are shifting our expectations of mental and physical health and wellbeing. Discover how this is impacting human healthspan, and its implications for the future of work, retirement, investing, and governance.
Learn how to play an active role in the biotech revolution, including the tradeoffs of various ethical arguments and the role of de/centralization. Research labs will keep unlocking new science, but it's the role of leaders like you to guide how and when these advancements will shape the world.
