10th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Congress: Asia

This congress is co-hosted with Singapore National Biofilm Consortium (SNBC)

Global Engage is pleased to announce the 10th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Congress: Asia, co-located with Skin Health & Microbiome Congress: Asia, which is set to take place on the 8th and 9th of May 2025, in Singapore.

This year’s conference will span two days and feature multiple tracks, bringing together over 45 leading scientists to present the latest scientific breakthroughs and business developments in the microbiome field. The program includes mix of individual talks, and panel discussions, covering a wide range of topics such as microbiome communities, the role of the microbiome in health and disease, therapeutic developments, dietary influences on the microbiome, beyond gut, brain health, metagenomics, skin health and microbiome, probiotics and prebiotics, product development and business challenges, to name a few.

In an exciting expansion to the familiar human microbiome and skin health & microbiome tracks, we are introducing a new focus on the environmental microbiome, co-hosted with the Singapore National Biofilm Consortium (SNBC). This track will explore the interactions between microbial ecosystems and their environments, offering insights into their impact on global health, agriculture, and sustainability. By examining the environmental microbiome, researchers are uncovering vital connections between human health and the broader ecosystem, opening new opportunities for advancements in climate resilience and environmental health.

The enhanced 2025 edition aims to address the key challenges faced by researchers and product developers, providing actionable insights and strategies to help translate scientific discoveries into real-world products. Additionally, the event will facilitate connections between attendees and investors, fostering opportunities for commercialization. Whether you seek to learn from top scientists, showcase groundbreaking research, or pursue partnerships and funding, this conference offers unparalleled opportunities in the rapidly growing microbiome field that you do not want to miss.

This event will host panel discussions and feature early career researchers’ spotlight sessions. For speaking opportunity, please reach out to Woo Wen Fang at wenfang@global-engage.com to discuss how you can contribute and be a part of the speaker panel.
