DIAH Conference 2026

Discovery to Innovation in Animal Health

The Discovery to Innovation in Animal Health (DIAH) Conference returns in 2026 with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between early-stage research and industry uptake in the animal health sector. Designed for a focused audience of up to 200 delegates, the event fosters meaningful dialogue and co-development between academia, research organisations, start-ups, and established companies.

Why attend DIAH 2026?

  • Foster collaboration: Engage in informal and targeted exchanges that go beyond traditional B2B models.
  • Accelerate innovation: Connect early developers with industry to drive discovery towards proof-of-concept and development.
  • Learn and pitch: Gain insights into the innovation pipeline, IP, and regulatory landscape, and support young researchers in pitching their technologies.
  • Tailored networking: Book one-to-one meetings in advance with academia, industry, and funding partners.

If you are active in the animal health innovation space — whether as a researcher, knowledge transfer professional, or industry partner — DIAH 2026 offers an ideal setting to explore collaboration and unlock new opportunities.
