Panel title

Talent Trek: Biotech’s needs, challenges and opportunities

Panel summary

To successfully grow a biotech company, it needs at least three components:  an innovative idea, solid financing, and an excellent team. The focus of this panel is on how to attract, retain, and develop a top team. Here are key questions:

  • How do Biotech companies attract top talents? How to find and win the right people on all levels? What are the specific advantages for Switzerland?
  • What challenges are there when searching talents for smaller companies? How to find people that are willing to wear several hats at the same time?
  • How to shape a company culture in a hybrid / decentralized setting?  How to integrate people from different cultures, generations, etc.? How to balance remote and onsite work?
  • What role will AI play in recruiting?
  • What can we learn from the challenges and opportunities of Biotech talent in Central Europe?
Our panellists will share success stories and challenges, provide insights, and answer questions.
