2026: Innovative Technologies in Bioresource Science and Engineering

Innovative Technologies in Bioresource Science and Engineering focuses on how advanced science and engineering can unlock the full potential of tropical biological resources through smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable innovations. Tropical bioresources—from plants, animals, microbes, and marine resources to agricultural and industrial biomass—can be transformed into high-value products and solutions when supported by cutting-edge technologies that align human, animal, and environmental health within the One Health perspective.

This focus highlights the integration of biotechnology, digital tools, and engineering approaches such as bioprocessing, biorefinery systems, fermentation technology, omics-based innovation, precision technologies, automation, and sensor-driven quality control. Digital innovations, including AI, big data analytics, and traceability systems, also strengthen decision-making and transparency across bioresource value chains. By enabling resource efficiency, waste minimization, and circular bioeconomy pathways, these innovations contribute to sustainable development while supporting resilient, future-ready solutions for health, industry, and the environment.
