Biosurfactants 2027 is an international conference bringing together researchers, industry professionals, technology developers and other stakeholders to advance the development, production and commercial application of biosurfactants.

Surfactants are widely used across the chemical industry, but the sector faces increasing pressure to deliver products that meet environmental, performance and cost requirements. Biosurfactants, produced by microorganisms using renewable resources, offer potential alternatives to conventional surfactants and opportunities to develop more sustainable chemical processes and products.

The conference will explore scientific advances, emerging technologies and industrial developments that could help move biosurfactants from research into wider commercial use.

Key themes and areas of discussion include:

• Sustainable surfactant production: Biosurfactants derived from renewable biomass, industrial residues, and emerging resource pathways involving carbon dioxide and green hydrogen.
• Research and biotechnology: Advances in microbial production, biosurfactant properties and the scientific questions shaping the field.
• Scale-up and commercialisation: Efforts to increase production capacity, expand applications and move promising technologies towards market adoption.
• Performance and sustainability: Addressing industry demands related to functionality, ecotoxicology, environmental impact and price competitiveness.
• Industry–academia collaboration: Sharing research findings, industrial experience and opportunities for collaboration across the biosurfactants value chain.

The event is relevant to stakeholders working in microbial biotechnology, sustainable chemistry, industrial biotechnology and the development of bio-based materials. It will provide a platform to exchange knowledge, discuss technical and commercial challenges, and explore pathways for advancing biosurfactants as viable industrial products.
