The APA BIOFORUM aims at providing a Platform to the Biopolymer professionals - Scientists, Researchers and Engineers, to foster growth, disseminate information and knowledge of Biopolymer world and their directional applications in diverse areas for development of sustainable society. This FORUM will also act as a portal for exchanging information, organizing events such as conferences, lecture series and conventions for advancement of research and knowledge which will be helpful for biopolymer community right from young researchers to the professionals through a well-coordinated interaction both at National and International level.

Vision:
The vision of this BIOFORUM under the aegis of Asian Polymer Association (APA) is to bring Biopolymer Scientists and Technologists from different parts of Asia at a common Platform and to have dynamic Scientific and Technological association with the rest of the world community in order to have meaningful interaction and foster ideas in the field of Science and Technology.

Mission:
The mission of BIOFORUM is to assist the Biopolymer Scientists and Technologists right from the research scholars to the professionals through well coordinated interaction both at National and International level. Vision of this FORUM has been oriented towards organizing seminars, workshops and conferences on Biopolymers. The FORUM aims to bring the young researchers at the forefront by recognizing their research innovations in the field of Biopolymers and conferring various awards for their outstanding contributions.

Objectives:
BIOFORUM is established with the vision to serve the society in the field of Biopolymers and has the following objectives:

1. To bring the Scientists, Technologists, people working in Industries, Researchers and people from different walks of life, together at international platform.
2. To disseminate the Scientific output from different research groups among the common people so that same could be used for the welfare of the social structure.
3. To encourage and recognise the young researchers for excellence in the field of their research.
4. To promote academic and Research & Development activities among the Educational Institutions, Industries and various Research Laboratories in Asia.
5. To provide the Scientific and Technology related information to the people associated with the Biopolymers.
6. To organize lecture series, seminars, workshops and conferences in the field of Biopolymers.

The Executive committee will work in well coordinated manner for the advancement in the field of Biopolymers. The committee will meet online at least once in six months to discuss plans to meet the Vision, Mission and Objectives of BIOFORUM. FORUM will organize various academic events from time to time and will do its level best for the encouragement of researchers in the field of Biopolymers so that people could exchange more innovative ideas among themselves. The main aim of this FORUM will be concentrated on the percolation of useful information from the R & D sections to the society.
