BIOSPAIN 2025 Talent Day: A unique opportunity for direct dialogue between students, researchers, and industry leaders
Events like this are essential to ensure that the biotechnology industry remains competitive and a global benchmark, fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
Human capital and talent are two key elements for the growth of companies, and the biotech sector boasts a brilliant pool of talent. The biotechnology industry is constantly evolving, driven by research, innovation, and, above all, human talent. As a result, it requires new multidisciplinary profiles with specific knowledge and skills to adapt to an ever-changing scientific and innovative environment.
According to the study “Professional Profiles in the Biotech Sector” conducted by AseBio in collaboration with the Biotechnology Markets Platform, there is a gap between academic training and business needs, as well as challenges in finding specialized profiles. This study highlights the need to review and update academic curricula, focusing on more practical training and specialized knowledge. It also underscores the importance of stronger collaboration between universities and biotech companies to address the sector’s evolving demands.
Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry
Aware of this gap, BIOSPAIN 2025 (October 7-9, 2025; Barcelona) will once again host Talent Day, a key meeting point designed to give visibility to new professionals and facilitate their entry into the job market. This event, taking place on October 9, will be crucial for students to gain first-hand insight into industry needs and for companies to identify the talent that will drive their growth.
Talent Day offers a unique opportunity for direct dialogue between students, researchers, and industry leaders. Companies will have the chance to present the profiles they are looking for, while attendees can align their education and skills with real market demands. Additionally, the event will feature a dedicated program of sessions addressing the latest trends and challenges related to talent in the biotech sector.
To facilitate these connections, matchmaking sessions will be organized throughout the day. Participants will have the opportunity to schedule interviews with specific companies through a dedicated platform. These interviews will last a maximum of 10 minutes and will take place in reserved booths within the BIOSPAIN 2025 partnering area.
A Vital Initiative for the Future of the Biotech Sector
Events like this are essential to maintaining the biotechnology industry's competitiveness and global leadership. Encouraging collaboration and mutual understanding between academia and industry will accelerate scientific advancements and transform knowledge into tangible solutions for society.
