ReGen Valley Community Update 2026

The ReGen Valley Community Update brings together leaders from industry, education, workforce development, and community organizations to highlight the progress being made in regenerative medicine and biomanufacturing across the region.

Taking place at the conclusion of Meeting in the Millyard (MITM), the Community Update connects the national momentum around regenerative medicine and bioindustrial manufacturing with the real regional impact taking place through the ReGen Valley ecosystem.

This year’s program will explore the theme: From Vision to Reality: Building the Regional Infrastructure for the Bioeconomy

Across the country, innovation in regenerative medicine and advanced biomanufacturing is accelerating. ReGen Valley is demonstrating how a region can come together to build the infrastructure needed to support this emerging industry — including workforce development, industry partnerships, and community foundations that enable long-term growth.

The program will highlight:

• Breakthroughs and innovation emerging from companies and partners in the region
• Workforce development initiatives building the next generation of talent
• Regional collaboration across education, industry, and community organizations
• The community infrastructure needed to support a growing bioeconomy

The event will open with the BioTrek Championship, showcasing student teams who have spent the year learning about regenerative medicine and biofabrication. BioTrek highlights the growing talent pipeline that will help power the future workforce for this emerging industry.

The Community Update will also feature discussions with industry leaders, community partners, and regional stakeholders working together to strengthen the ecosystem supporting regenerative medicine and biomanufacturing.

Local, state, and federal leaders are expected to join the program as the region continues to demonstrate how collaboration across sectors can help translate scientific breakthroughs into real economic and community impact.
