It appears to be by-on-tek.

[Amigos4]

I'll go with bee-on-tek.

It appears to be by-on-tek.

I'll go with bee-on-tek.

I've heard both pronunciations on UK news broadcasts.

[GoesStation]

Amigos notwithstanding, it would surprise me to hear an American say "bee-on-tek".

It's not worth disagreeing about. Let bygones be bygones and BioNs be BioNs.

Let’s hear directly from the CEO of BioNTech.

And as we now know from both Amigos' and Glizdka's links, the CEO doesn't care how you pronounce it, and happily accepts both!

Let’s hear directly from the CEO of BioNTech.

The "bee" pronunciation is natural for a German-speaker. It wouldn't come naturally to most Americans.

Wandering off-topic slightly, I was disappointed to learn a few years ago that Tdol was not, as I had fondly imagined, pronounced /tɪdl/ (tiddle); it's /tiːdɒl/ (tea-doll).

My name is pronounced /paɪsiːən/ (Pie-see-un), not, as I was once addressed, /pɪskiːn/ (piss-keen).
