Curious about the hype? Discover bio:cap.
bio:cap blends the focus of an investor conference with the creative energy of a festival. By day: curated matchmaking, inspiring keynotes, and hands-on deep dives. In the evening: informal connections and standout networking in a uniquely Berlin setting.
Lifestyle
At bio:cap, science meets Berlin’s lifestyle – so your best conversations happen on and off the stage. Move between art-meets-science installations that spark ideas and our highly interesting partners present their latest innovations at their booth. Refuel at our Berlin-style Späti with snacks and drinks, then roll into citywide side events. And because no Berlin visit is complete without its club culture, on the second evening we are hosting the bio:cap INVESTIVAL PARTY – taking over a hand-picked Berlin club for an unforgettable, energetic night that will turn new contacts into lasting relationships.
