On April 17–18, 2026, the 4th Synthetic Biology Industry Expo (SBC 2026), jointly organized by BioValley, Shandong University, East China University of Science and Technology, and China Cosmetics Magazine, concluded successfully at the Nanjing Yangtze River International Conference Center!
Under the theme "Synthesizing Future Trends, Smart Manufacturing Infinite Possibilities," the expo focused on areas such as aesthetic medicine and daily chemicals, agriculture and natural products, bio-manufacturing and new materials, food and nutrition, and consumer health. It featured 5 major forums and 13 cutting-edge thematic sessions for in-depth discussions. With over 1,500 on-site attendees, the event was led by multiple industry giants and brought together experts from industry, academia, and research to explore the frontiers of synthetic biology, discuss its future direction, and help propel the synthetic biology and bio-manufacturing industries to new heights.
As a deeply dedicated player in the synthetic biology equipment field, Jiangsu JV Bio-Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "JV Bio") made a brilliant appearance at the JV Bio booth with its full-process equipment innovation solutions, and successfully hosted three highly popular on-site events, becoming one of the most eye-catching highlights of this expo.
01 Technical Speech | Key Control Systems and Practical Points in Fermentation Process Design
During the conference, Qian Zhenxu, Technical Manager of JV Bio, delivered an insightful speech titled "Key Control Systems and Practical Points in Fermentation Process Design." He pointed out that the essence of industrialization pain points lies in the uncontrollable and non-reproducible nature of the fermentation microenvironment, and that traditional geometric similarity scaling methods have obvious limitations. The core of fermentation process control lies in achieving microenvironmental similarity, and the process performance evaluation system established on this basis is quantifiable, verifiable, and implementable. This system can precisely address three major challenges: transitioning from single-process to multi-process, scaling up from small tanks to large tanks, and enabling process linkage across different tank types and manufacturers.
Leveraging microenvironmental control technology, JV Bio offers both standard and customized fermentation tank product series, along with full-process compliant delivery, providing core equipment support for stable process scale-up and large-scale production.
The speech started from the design source, offering practical and feasible new ideas for quality control and large-scale production in the fermentation stage of synthetic biology. The live interaction was enthusiastic, sparking in-depth discussions among industry peers on the evolution of synthetic biology process technology and the future development of the industry.
02 Closed-Door Meeting | Value Upgrading and Ecological Closed-Loop Construction in the Aesthetic Medicine Industry
On the afternoon of April 17, the closed-door meeting "Value Upgrading and Ecological Closed-Loop Construction in the Aesthetic Medicine Industry," co-hosted by JV Bio, China Electronics Corporation Fourth Construction Co., Ltd. (CEDC-4), and BioValley, was held concurrently.
The meeting was moderated by Professor Guo Meijin, a doctoral supervisor at the State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, and Chairman of the Biochemical Process Modeling and Control Committee of the Chinese Society for Microbiology. The meeting featured speeches by Sun Rong, Chief Analyst at Frost & Sullivan Greater China; Lu Xiangbao, Production Head of Zhejiang Meili Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; and Wang Wenge, CEO of Jiangtai Biotechnology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Corporate guests in attendance included Shanghai Meizao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Veritas (Nanjing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Jinsan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., among others.
The meeting focused on two core trends—supply chain construction and commercialization—bringing together cutting-edge industry perspectives. From raw material innovation to end-market applications, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on technology translation, industrial chain integration, and ecological closed-loop construction in the aesthetic medicine track. Attendees unanimously agreed that this closed-door meeting provided highly practical ideas and directions for aesthetic medicine enterprises to achieve full-chain integration.
03 New Book Signing | Author of Synthetic Biology: The Art of Programming Life Visits the JV Bio Booth
On the morning of April 18, the JV Bio booth welcomed another highlight of the expo—Mr. Li Shiyuan, author of Synthetic Biology: The Art of Programming Life, made a personal appearance at the booth for a new book signing event.
Numerous attendees came specifically for the event, lining up to exchange ideas with the author and receive signed copies. Through knowledge sharing, JV Bio further bridged the gap with industry peers and demonstrated its sense of responsibility in promoting synthetic biology science education and talent development.
04 JV Bio: Empowering Breakthroughs Across the Entire Industry Chain with Excellence Equipment
From co-hosting the aesthetic medicine closed-door meeting, to the technical manager's hard-hitting speech, to the author's in-person book signing—three events, each packed with substance and each resonating with the audience.
JV Bio has always focused on full-process equipment innovation from laboratory to industrialization, committed to paving the way for synthetic biology enterprises to achieve industrial-scale success. At SBC 2026, JV Bio not only showcased its technological strength but also earned widespread recognition from customers and partners through high-frequency, high-quality on-site interactions.
Becoming our customers' preferred process equipment partner—JV Bio is taking concrete actions to inject new vitality and momentum into China's synthetic biology industry.
Though SBC 2026 has come to an end, the journey of synthetic biology from technology to product continues to accelerate. We extend our gratitude to all friends who visited the JV Bio booth, and to every fellow traveler. JV Bio looks forward to meeting you again at the next industry event—to explore cutting-edge processes together and build the future of the industry!
