All Events

We are thrilled to be hosting our quarterly Biotech & Beers, a networking evening designed to bring together the local biotech community.

Whether you’re a scientist, founder, or industry enthusiast, this is the perfect space to connect, share ideas, and build new partnerships in a relaxed environment.

Come for the connections, stay for the conversation (and the cold brews).

This is where we sit down with Biotech Founders to bridge the gap between groundbreaking science and the human stories behind the founders making it happen. We’re thrilled to welcome Vaughn & Diego from Biomine Health.

Come hang out with the community for the next session of our Start-Up Stories series! 

Altera is on a mission to redesign the rules of compatibility by building a universal donor cell platform designed to enable scalable, immune-compatible, off-the-shelf allogeneic therapies for cell and tissue transplantation. Their mission is to remove the barriers of immunogenicity and donor-matching through cell engineering, making cell therapy more scalable, accessible, and impactful across the globe.

We’re thrilled to welcome Alex & Micheal from Altera Biosciences.

This is your chance to hear the human side of biotech innovation, ask your burning questions, and meet fellow builders in the community over a great lunch.

Bionuclex is chasing one of the harder problems in biotech: catching multiple cancers early, from a single blood draw, in a way the average person could actually access.

Their focus is biomarker discovery for multi-cancer early detection liquid biopsy, the kind of work that only pays off if the science holds up under real scrutiny, and reaches further than a lab.

This is where we sit down with Biotech Founders to bridge the gap between groundbreaking science and the human stories behind the founders making it happen. We’re thrilled to welcome Dominic, Ethan and Nick from Immobazyme.

We’re bringing Biotech & Beers to Stellenbosch and we’re doing it with the team at Stellenbosch BioFoundry. Come hear what’s happening at the frontier of biotech, swap ideas with researchers, students, and founders, and stick around for the cold ones.

Go behind the scenes with Fluorobiotech as they share the origin story of their mission to revolutionize diagnostic precision through advanced molecular engineering. From lab-scale breakthroughs to global health impact, this session highlights the grit and strategy required to pioneer life-saving technologies in today’s startup ecosystem.

This is a recurring event for biotech enthusiasts, founders, researchers, and investors who are keen to connect.

Go behind the scenes with Urobo Biotech as they share the origin story of their mission to solve the global plastic crisis through biological innovation. From lab-scale experiments to industrial impact, this session highlights the grit and strategy required to pioneer sustainable solutions in today’s startup ecosystem.

We’re hosting a panel discussion to navigate the complexities of health product compliance in this essential session with SAHPRA representatives. This is a founder’s guide to navigating SAHPRA’s framework and accelerating the path from lab innovation to market approval.

Join us for an exclusive online session exploring the DeSci revolution, featuring a Project Showcase (with trailblazers like VitaDAO) and technical deep dives into the Molecule protocol’s mechanics. This “Lab Bench to Blockchain” guide will focus on using tokenized IP and DeSci to bypass traditional funding hurdles. Stay tuned for the final workshop format.

OneBio, in collaboration with Biosafety South Africa, opens its doors for the SAIW Showcase, a flagship event of the first-ever South Africa Innovation Week. In partnership with TIA, we are highlighting the “quadruple helix” of innovation, where government, industry, academia, and society meet. Be part of the movement that is resetting how South Africa collaborates, invests, and scales its technological future.

OneBio Innovation Centre

This two-day, high-impact festival brings together Africa’s top deep-tech startups and early-stage founders with global investors and partners, driving innovation, investment, and collaboration across the continent.

OneBio in Collaboration with Molecule

This networking event explores how Web3 is reshaping the future of drug discovery, with a spotlight on Molecule & its role in advancing science through democratised funding & tokenised intellectual property. Come for the insights, stay for the conversation (& the cold brews).

OBIC hosted the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) in a panel discussion to connect biotech startups, academic innovators, and industry stakeholders with TIA to demystify South Africa’s public innovation funding landscape.

This is a recurring event for biotech enthusiasts, founders, researchers, and investors who are keen to connect.
