Regional Innovation Summit & Down South adVentures Tour
The Regional Component of the 2026 BioInnovation Festival
Join us in Western Australia’s iconic South West for the regional flagship events of the 2026 BioInnovation Festival — a two-day experience designed to connect investors, innovators, industry leaders, and government stakeholders with the people and ideas shaping the future of regional innovation.
Join us for the two full days or pick between the Down South adVentures Tour on Thursday or Regional Innovation Summit on Friday!

Down South adVentures Tour — Thursday 12 March
A curated, high-value investor and stakeholder tour travelling from Perth to Yallingup, visiting standout innovation sites, regional businesses, and emerging ventures across agtech, bluetech, and healthtech.
Participants will experience WA’s South West innovation landscape up close, meet founders and industry leaders, and enjoy an evening of cultural immersion through a guided Koomal Dreaming cave experience and bush-inspired dining in Yallingup.
Perfect for investors, policymakers, and partners seeking real insights, connections, and collaboration opportunities in regional innovation.

Regional Innovation Summit — Friday 13 March
Hosted at the historic Caves House, the Summit is intentionally designed as an intimate, roundtable-style gathering, bringing together 90 regional and national changemakers for a highly interactive day of keynotes, panels, networking, and startup pitches.
Rather than a traditional conference format, participants sit in facilitated table groups — working collaboratively to unpack challenges, share expertise, and co-design tangible, actionable outcomes for the future of WA’s regional innovation ecosystem. This format encourages deeper conversations, stronger connections, and richer cross-sector collaboration.
Focused on the critical growth areas shaping a resilient, sustainable regional economy — including future food, productive oceans, environmental technology, and health and medical innovation — the Summit blends global perspectives with regional case studies to drive practical momentum.

Why Attend?

Connect with founders, investors, researchers, industry experts, and government leaders
Access on-the-ground insights into WA’s emerging ventures and innovation assets
Experience uniquely curated regional and cultural experiences
Collaborate in small-group settings to shape actionable outcomes for the South West innovation ecosystem
Be part of the BioInnovation Festival’s commitment to advancing life sciences, technology, and sustainable industries across WA

Whether you join the Tour, the Summit, or the full two-day experience, this regional component of the BioInnovation Festival offers unmatched access, inspiration, and connection — all set against the backdrop of one of Australia’s most remarkable innovation regions.
