The 40 Hottest Emerging Technologies in the Bioeconomy – the NEXT 40

We will be celebrating the l40 Hottest New Emerging Technologies in the Bioeconomy at ABLC NEXT 2024 and joining the Hot 40 at the Hot Party, the evening of October 25, 2024 at the Hotel Nikko. These are the 40 hottest emerging technologies and companies which have the greatest disruptive potential to become major bioeconomy companies over the near-to-mid term by redefining markets, growing revenues, and deploying at commercial scale.

ALL ACCESS delegate passes

All delegates will have ALL ACCESS packages including all live sessions, receptions, and access to ABLC Virtual as we stream 26 hours of live coverage on ROBIN.STREAM, onstage presentation slides as approved for release by the presenters, and 36 hours of recorded presentations available on-demand throughout 2024 at ROBIN.STREAM.

6 Themes the Industry is Thinking About

Across the two and a half days of ABLC NEXT, we’ll be looking closely at project deployment, partnership development, supply chain construction, securing offtake, finance, people, technology, and winning locations. We’ll look in depth at 6 themes.

New Markets: New niches opening for drop-in sustainable alternatives as well as novel fuels, chemicals, materials, advanced foods, crops and crop protection.

New Technology Platforms: Advances in applied technologies that will open new markets in the future, as well as key advances in the platform technology areas of genetics, robotics, intelligence, storage, bandwidth.

Deploying at Scale: First commercial projects and technologies ready for deployment at scale.

Gaining Speed: new strategies for increasing speed to market; development in parallel; accessing opportunities in emerging markets and making them work.

Defining the Ask: What carbon policies will accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy; what are the rewards for countries, states and communities that move forward on carbon policy, and what’s the outlook for both current and new policies around the globe.

First Products: Designing platforms and breakthrough first products that reduce cash burn and create brand visibility; monetizing through new and existing channels.

Sustainable Feedstock: Identifying real resources, timelines to scale, aggregation that works, sustainability metrics, and residues vs novel energy crops.

10 Industry Segments that Matter

Liquid fuels: In the Advanced Biofuels Summit, ABLC NEXT will be focusing on demonstrated cellulosic biofuels, expansion opportunities in biomass-based diesel, propane, progress in aviation fuels; Low Carbon Fuel Standards and their impact, progress in emerging alternatives to gasoline and diesel including DME, butanol and more, upgrade and expansion technologies for first-gen plants and thermochemical technologies that are on the rise. Full conference details are here.

Chemicals and Biomaterials: In the Renewable Chemicals & Biomaterials Summit, ABLC NEXT will focus on new demand for renewable chemical Intermediates, expansion in biobased plastics & packaging, the rise of fragrances & flavors, strategic interest and intent in organic acids and novel-performance chemicals. Full conference details are here.

Agriculture. In The Advanced Agriculture Summit, ABLC NEXT will look at yield improvement, new crops, international deployment of technology, new sources of income — and the role of robotics, genetics, big data, remote sensing, mobility — and new tools for crop protection through early detection & spot treatment against pests, parasites, competitors and disease. The Summit will examine sustainable crop protection, novel feedstocks, supply chain development, the return of platforms such as hemp and hemp-based CBD, the rise of protein production for animal and human nutrition, and opportunities for vegan technologies. Full conference details are here.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: In the Sustainable Aviation Summit, ABLC NEXT will highlight success stories and emerging technologies for aviation fuels for commercial and military application, including a look at consortia aimed at deployment, and the emerging policy and airline industry purchasing trends.Full conference details are here.

Biogas and RNG fuels In the Biogas & RNG Summit, ABLC NEXT will be focusing on anaerobic digestion, feedstock aggregation including dairy and cattle residues, key markets, advances in vehicle technology and deployment, compression and purification technologies, and key partners and industry suppliers to turn “trash into cash”. Full conference details are here.

The NEXT 40 In the NEXT Technologies Summit and across the entire agenda, ABLC NEXT will showcase the 40 hottest emerging technologies and companies that in our editorial judgment, have the greatest disruptive potential to become billion dollar valuation companies over the near-to-mid term. Full conference details are here.

Carbon Capture & Reduction. In the Circular Carbon sessions and the Advanced Agriculture Summit, ABLC NEXT will focus in on the rise of carbon capture, storage, recycling and waste carbon applications. Full conference details are here.
