BioAsia 2026 Summit Begins in Hyderabad

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will inaugurate the 23rd edition of BioAsia 2026, an international life sciences summit, at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC). The two-day global conference positions Telangana as a growing centre for TechBio innovation and advanced healthcare technologies.

This year’s theme, ‘TechBio Unleashed – AI, Automation, and the Revolutionary Changes in Life Sciences,’ reflects the rapid integration of digital technologies with biotechnology and pharmaceutical research.

Theme Focus: AI and Automation in Life Sciences

The summit will explore how artificial intelligence, automation and data-driven systems are transforming drug discovery, biologics development and healthcare delivery. As India strengthens its footprint in biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing, the event will examine the role of TechBio in accelerating research and reducing development timelines.

Delegates will deliberate on next-generation biologics, AI-driven research and development, digital transformation in laboratories and manufacturing, and the future trajectory of pharma and biotech industries.

Global Participation and Key Speakers

The Chief Minister will formally open the international exhibition featuring leading life sciences organisations before delivering the keynote address. Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu will also attend the summit.

Prominent international speakers include Professor Bruce L. Levine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Dr. Howard Y. Chang, Chief Scientific Officer at Amgen. Their participation underscores the summit’s global character and focus on cutting-edge scientific collaboration.

Telangana’s Vision for 2047
