About Midwest BioBuilders Summit 2026
Originally known as the Chicago BioCapital Summit, this event has grown to become the Midwest’s flagship biotech gathering. The Summit connects academics, entrepreneurs, and startups with investors, operators, and industry leaders who can help advance their innovative ideas.
The event’s outstanding speakers, alongside the Hall of Inventions—an exhibition featuring 100+ academic entrepreneurs and early-stage companies representing more than ten Midwest universities—have helped attract more than 600 attendees.
The reimagined BioBuilders Summit 2026 reflects the Midwest’s industrial spirit, spotlighting the companies and platforms transforming biotechnology breakthroughs into products while building the infrastructure for the next generation of treatments for patients worldwide.
