About the convention

big is where Greece's biotech ecosystem shows its work

The BioInnovation Greece Forum 2026 brings together scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to explore the most transformative developments in biotechnology. Over five days, attendees get cutting-edge research and unparalleled networking. Powered by the passion of the Greek diaspora, building a stronger, healthier, more innovative Greece.

None of it runs without big Volunteers. Three teams behind the scenes and on the ground: Social Media tells the story before and during the forum, Project builds the programming students actually want, and the Runners make sure everything on-site happens when it's supposed to.

This page is our shared bulletin board: what each team is up to this week, who's behind it, and how to join them.
