BioSummit 2026

August 25–27 | Quito Metropolitan Convention Center (Bicentenario)

Biodiversity is the living infrastructure that sustains food, water, soils, and the economy. Ecuador, the most megadiverse country per square meter on the planet, demonstrates this reality, yet faces challenges shared globally.
BioSummit 2026 will bring together scientists, policymakers, certification bodies, investors, indigenous communities, and the productive sector to drive mechanisms that measure, value, and finance biodiversity at a global scale. More than a conference, it is a space where biodiversity is addressed as a strategic asset for development and productivity.
