LYON CONVENTION CENTRE, LYON, FRANCE
Introducing World BioSecurity Congress & Expo Europe
We're launching a brand new dedicated event running alongside World Vaccine Congress Europe , engineered specifically for the pioneers, strategists, and technologists defending against the world's most complex biological threats.
Active Preparedness
Biothreats don't wait for budget cycles. This event brings together the leaders turning preparedness into a fast-moving, technology-driven discipline rather than just a policy conversation.
Where Decisions Meet Action
It’s where DG HERA (European Commission), EU4Health, NATO DIANA, and national defense procurement bodies (DGA, BAAINBw) decision-makers meet the contractors, detection technologists, and platforms building the prototype-ready medical countermeasures they need next.
AI-Powered Biosurveillance
AI is redefining defense. From genomic surveillance and wastewater monitoring to machine learning models, discover the tools built to catch threats before they become full emergencies.

- Procurement & Program Leads from DG HERA (European Commission), EU4Health, NATO DIANA, and national defense procurement bodies (DGA, BAAINBw).
- Medical Countermeasure Researchers from UKHSA, French Ministry, WHO, CEPI Interpol, WOAH.
- Public Health Officials leading genomic surveillance and outbreak forecasting teams.
