For over 10 years, the Upstream & Downstream Forum has proven to be an exciting venue for presentations, networking and discussions focusing on the latest applications and technologies.
The event continues to build the collaborative bridge between Upstream & Downstream Bioprocessing by bringing specialists from your peer group who will share their experience by presenting best practices, applications and techniques to address the bottlenecks at the interfaces of upstream and downstream.

The Upstream Technology Forum has been initiated six years ago to discuss challenges and innovative approaches to cell and microbial culture amongst industry practitioners.
Since 2004 the Downstream Forum provides the latest technical and scientifical approaches in downstream processing to accelerate development and optimize production of vaccines and biopharmaceuticals.
Successful process optimization in upstream has led to increased cell densities and product titers. But what does this mean for downstream processing and purification of the final drug product? These modern, intensified production processes are pushing the bottleneck more and more towards downstream. The need to address this has become stronger than ever before. Following these developments, we started to bring together our established Upstream and Downstream Technology Forum to one joint event.
