Seminars
Getting biological products to market quickly—and successfully—starts with smart decisions early in development. This workshop will show you how to identify scalable ideas, anticipate manufacturing challenges, and build a regulatory strategy that accelerates your path to commercialization. Learn how to reduce risk, cut unnecessary costs, and move confidently from concept to market-ready product.
- Filter high-potential ideas by prioritizing those with clear scalability and realistic production paths
- Integrate early manufacturability checks to catch cost or feasibility issues before investing in field trials
- Build cross-functional teams to surface regulatory, technical, and production risks early in development
- Explore the regulatory data required for product registration and how to engage with agencies effectively to minimize delays
- Examine the safety and distribution of microbes, particularly in relation to human health and plant pests
- Learning how innovations in bioprocessing technologies can drive down production costs
- Eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure using cutting-edge breakthroughs
- Overcoming the challenges associated with getting a product from the lab to the shelf
