Trade fairs and events | Retrospect 2026

We are pleased to welcome you to our seminar series “Virus-based therapies – from engineering to process development” at the Virus-based therapies branch of the Fraunhofer IGB in Biberach. We will offer monthly seminars on various aspects of virus-based therapies. It is our pleasure to have renowned experts share their insights into the various aspects of virus-based therapies.

At the Fraunhofer joint booth, Fraunhofer IGB will be presenting representative bio-based materials within the Fraunhofer Materials Group that have been produced using bio-inspired technologies from biogenic residues and raw materials. We would like to further develop these materials in collaboration with interested corporate partners in order to close the gap in the market for sustainable materials. We look forward to seeing you in Hall 11, Booth D33.

Fraunhofer IGB will showcase a biomining reactor for the biological recovery of valuable metals and rare earth elements from electronic waste, present its processes for nutrient recovery from wastewater, as well as specific project examples ranging from wastewater treatment to water reuse for municipalities and industry, and explain how pathogens can be detected in wastewater.

Following the “Meet & Match Virus-based Technologies” event, organized in cooperation with BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH, Fraunhofer IGB invites you to an evening event at ITZ Plus in Biberach starting at 5:00 p.m. Under the title “VBT Reloaded: Connecting Science and Industry in the BioPharma Cluster South Germany,” the event sends a clear signal regarding the strategic development of Biberach as a hub and the need for stronger networking among relevant stakeholders in the fields of virus-based therapies, ATMPs, and biologics.
