Envisioning the Next Bioscience Workforce: A Summit on Industry Trends and Needs

This is the full report from the Summit.

In June 2023, InnovATEBIO, the National Biotechnology Education Center, convened a national summit: “Envisioning the Next Bioscience Workforce: A Summit on Industry Trends and Needs” at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. Over 300 attendees from education, industry, workforce development and government gathered for two days to learn about emerging trends and technologies in the biosciences and to convene within “state teams” to develop action plans for strengthening the bioscience workforce ecosystem in their state. This report documents the outcomes of the Summit and makes recommendations to the National Science Foundation, InnovATEBIO, community college biotechnology programs and the Coalition of State Bioscience Institutes (CSBI) about possible next steps for developing and strengthening bioscience workforce ecosystems both in states and nationally.
