Bio-based 2026: The 11th Bio-based Industry Conference & Exhibition
One of the largest bio-based industry events in Asia. May 20th - 22nd , 2026 Fuyue Hotel, Shanghai, China
As the inaugural year of China's "15th Five-Year Plan" begins, this event is launched in response to national policy directions for the "Dual Carbon" strategy and green, low-carbon development. Serving as a bellwether for the bio-based industry, the Key Laboratory of Bio-based Polymeric Materials of Zhejiang Province and DT New Materials will leverage a decade of excellence to host the 11th Bio-based Industry Conference & Exhibition (Bio-based 2026) in Shanghai from May 20–22, 2026.
The event features a comprehensive lineup, including 9 Theme Forums, 7 Concurrent Activities, 1,000+ New Product Showcases, and the DT New Leaf Awards Ceremony. We have invited over 100 industry experts, industrial leaders, and end-user brands to share insights on global strategic trends, cutting-edge technology, key material development, supply chain synergy, certification standards, and project roadshows.
Furthermore, to discover the pioneers of the industry, 58 organizations have already submitted 76 new products to compete for the 2026 DT New Leaf Awards—widely regarded as the "Oscars" of the bio-based industry. The exhibition aims to empower the entire bio-based value chain through innovation and collaboration, providing sustainable, forward-looking insights from laboratory to application. The event is expected to attract over 1,500 participants.
