About the Event
The 99.2% Standard
DACH leads the world in biomanufacturing excellence, achieving an extraordinary 99.2% batch success rate across 45+ facilities
The global average? 94–96%
That 5% difference translates to €20–30 million saved per facility every year
Why #BioManuDACH2026?
To understand the culture behind perfection.
This cannot be studied in a textbook; it is the unwritten code of DACH manufacturing excellence:
- 🇨🇭 Swiss Quality Mindset: Accept nothing less than flawless
- 🇩🇪 German Engineering Discipline: Plan for 150% capacity
- 🇦🇹 Austrian Documentation Rigour: Prevent every possible deviation
BioManufacturing DACH 2026 is where the world comes to understand what cannot be taught – how a culture of perfection becomes a business advantage.
What Makes DACH Irreplaceable?
It’s not just the automation. Everyone can buy that.
It’s not just the investment – though €5 billion is reinvested annually, the highest per capita worldwide.
It’s the culture. 50 years of embedding perfection as the baseline, not the goal. A mindset that transforms every process, every team, and every molecule.
The Bottom Line
You can buy the technology.
You can copy the processes.
But you cannot import the culture of perfection that took half a century to build.
Join the leaders who define the global benchmark for biomanufacturing success; join BioManufacturing DACH 2026 for the 99.2% Standard
