I am very happy to inform members that the 5,000 sq. ft India Pavilion, set up by ABLE, at the BIO International Convention in San Diego, USA, from June 22-25, 2026, has achieved the primary objective of show casing the best from our industry to the world. This is the largest ever India Pavilion at this world’s biggest biotech event, since the country started participating in it 24 years ago.

The Pavilion remained a beehive of activities till closure time on 25th afternoon. All the participants reported conducting lots of business meetings inside the Pavilion using the Exhibitor Partnering tool. This is one of the reasons, companies keep coming back to our India Pavilion, to engage with the global business leaders in biotech.

The 100+ India delegation, from 50 exhibitors that included top vaccine makers, CROs, startups, state governments, was boosted by the presence of India’s Consul General in Los Angeles, Ambassador Dr. K.J. Srinivasa, who inaugurated the Pavilion and interacted with all the participants. To understand the offerings from the industry and absorb the innovative strides that could be passed on to companies that contact our national outpost in California and beyond.

India Pavilion had a new feature this time with the BioVoices program that had some of our companies talking about their innovations to the global audience in curated sessions daily. ABLE also organized a visit of delegates, coordinated by our partner Carve Labs, to meet the leadership in California Governor’s office, leaders of key states cities and regions like Philadelphia, Maryland, Massachusetts besides interaction with researchers at Illumina headquarters.

The momentum built by this year’s India Pavilion will continue next year in June @ BIO Philadelphia with 5000 sq. ft already booked. I request all member companies and other participants to sign up the best slots early, confirm your participation to organize much bigger delegation visits to key institutions in the tri-state area adjoining Philadelphia that is one of leading regions for biotech innovations in the USA.
