IFPB 2026 focuses on research and development of biotechnology, enzyme technology and bioprocesses applied to fibers and polymers.
It is an internationally consolidated Congress, which is in its thirteenth Edition and has been carried out so far in nine countries and three continents.
The scope of the International Conference on Fiber and Polymer Biotechnology is to promote the scientific, professional and social exchange between researchers, students, research institutes, governmental entities and industries who are active in the field of textiles, fiber and polymer biotechnology. 

The main conference topics include but are not limited to:

  • Enzymatic synthesis and depolymerization of fibers and polymers.
  • Biotechnological processes for the functionalization of textiles and fibers.
  • Biotechnology for sustainable textiles, fibers, and polymer processes.
  • Biological engineering for textile, fiber, and polymer processes.
  • Biomaterials produced by micro-organisms (microbial cell factories).
  • Biomedical and industrial textile, fiber, and polymer biotechnology.
  • Future trends in textile and polymer biotechnology and bioprocessing.
