Why Your Company Should Join the Spain Pavilion at BIO International Convention San Diego 2026

BIO International Convention San Diego is the must-attend event for any company aiming to compete in the top tier of biotechnology. Every year, this gathering brings together the leading players in the U.S. biotech ecosystem: medical centers, research institutions, universities, major pharmaceutical companies, startups, and international organizations seeking innovative solutions. If your company wants to grow, expand internationally, and connect with those shaping the future of health, this is where you need to be.

Participating in the Spain Pavilion, in collaboration with ICEX, multiplies your visibility and positions you at the heart of the San Diego ecosystem—one of the most powerful biotechnology hubs in the world. This is not just about attending a trade show; it is about accessing networking opportunities that would otherwise be nearly impossible to achieve. From investor meetings to conversations with scientific leaders and potential strategic partners, the Spain Pavilion opens doors that truly make a difference. Registration is only open until February 20.

Being part of the Spain Pavilion also gives you exclusive advantages that maximize your impact at BIO 2026. ICEX handles everything for you with a turnkey service, allowing your team to focus solely on generating business. You will also have access to BIO One-on-One Partnering, the most powerful networking platform in the sector, which recorded more than 66,000 one-to-one meetings in 2025. This is complemented by technical visits and meetings with key players in the San Diego ecosystem, designed to immerse you fully in its innovative dynamics.

Exhibiting within a national pavilion strengthens your credibility with U.S. partners, who value institutional backing and the solidity of a unified presence. In addition, you will receive specialized support to prepare your partnering profile, key messages, and meeting strategy, along with sector-specific documentation on the U.S. biotechnology market. And if you choose the partnering format, you will have your own dedicated space to meet with potential partners, investors, and clients.

Companies such as Biomar, Becytes Biotechnologies, and A4Cell have already experienced the benefits of participating in BIO International Convention with ICEX, and their feedback has been extremely positive. Would you like to hear their stories?

Market data speaks for itself: the United States accounts for 58% of the global biotechnology market, with an estimated business volume of $186 billion in 2025. San Diego, together with Boston and San Francisco, forms the sector’s golden triangle, home to leading institutions such as Scripps Research, UC San Diego, and Sanford Burnham Prebys, and attracting $3.7 billion in venture capital in 2024.

BIO 2026 is not just another trade show. It is the opportunity to position your technology where it truly matters. And doing so from the Spain Pavilion is the smartest way to seize it.
