Type: Breakout Session
Focus Area: Special Program
As the life sciences industry continues its expansion, the demand for highly skilled talent frequently outpaces local supply. Solving this bottleneck requires more than isolated efforts; it demands a united front. In this moderated panel discussion, a public official, an academic leader, a state bioscience association CEO, and a life sciences industry leader will discuss how to align government policy, academic curricula, and industry needs. The conversation will focus on breaking down institutional silos, sharing successes in cross-sector alignment, and navigating the hurdles of creating a cohesive talent ecosystem.
