The BIOFACH Congress will be held from 16-19 February 2027 at the Exhibition Centre (NCC East). In addition, there will be lecture programmes on several stages in the exhibition halls.
The congress programme is shaped by sector players for the sector. Each year in August, the Call for Ideas is published for the following year’s congress. The submission deadline is end of September. From the wide range of proposals, the final programme is selected and compiled. In addition, BIOFACH actively contributes to the programme through self-initiated sessions, for example within the SustainableFutureLab.
Congress languages are German and English. Selected sessions will be simultaneously translated.
Sessions at the BIOFACH Congress last between 45 and 75 minutes, while sessions on the stages and special shows in the halls last between 30 and 60 minutes.
Selected sessions will be available after the event as recordings on the BIOFACH digital platform.
Through the Call for Ideas, everyone is invited to submit session proposals for the congress programme. The Call for Ideas will be published in August, and the submission deadline is 25th September 2026.
The Call for Ideas also invites proposals for the stages of several special shows:
Registration for participating in the Novelty Presentations or Start-Up Pitches on the INNOVATION STAGE will be possible from autumn via the Exhibitor Shop.
Participation as an attendee in the congress and stage programme is included in the ticket price for visitors and exhibitors. Programme placements based on topic proposals submitted via the Call for Ideas are free of charge – no room or other fees apply. Participating speakers receive a free 4-day ticket for BIOFACH including parking permit. Travel and accommodation costs in Nuremberg are not reimbursable.
Initial programme content is expected to be published on the BIOFACH website 6–8 weeks before the start of BIOFACH 2027.
