About the event
BIO Middle East takes place in Riyadh from 14 to 16 December 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham, held alongside CPHI Middle East on the same dates and at the same venue. This inaugural edition is held under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Health as the region's new platform for strategic networking and public-private partnership in biotechnology and life sciences.
The event brings together global and regional leaders through the partneringONE platform for pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, across three stages: the Main Stage, the Technical Stage and the Innovation Pitches Stage, covering cell and gene therapies, mRNA technologies, next-generation vaccines and biomanufacturing. It is aimed at manufacturers, researchers, regulators, investors and biotechnology startups.
Entry is free with advance registration through the dedicated visitor registration portal, and admission is restricted to those aged eighteen and above, except infants in arms accompanied by an adult. Held alongside CPHI Middle East, the combined event gives visitors a full view of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology value chain in one place.
