In June 2023, InnovATEBIO 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.
Nearly 300 attendees from education, industry, workforce and economic 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. Events, blogs, and videos related to the summit are listed below. Visit the "Envisioning the Next Bioscience Workforce" page for an overview.
