Biotechnology is key to Europe’s transition to a sustainable food system, but innovation must be matched by agile skills development. With other sectors competing for the same talent, agrifood careers must become more attractive and future-ready.
This roundtable invites industry and policymakers to explore how the Biotech Academy is addressing workforce gaps. We’ll unpack how companies and sectoral investments can drive a collaborative talent agenda focused on mobility, lifelong learning, and innovation.
Expect questions such as: How do we make biotech careers more accessible? What mindset and system shifts are needed? And how do we normalise reskilling and upskilling?
