LEAF 2025 Registrations Open – Life Science Education & Career Advancement Fair!
Theme: Reimagining Biotech Careers in the Age of AI & Global Collaboration.
In 2020, a microscopic virus brought the world to its knees. It changed our outlook towards science and medicine by exposing fragile healthcare systems and disrupting global economies. Despite all this chaos, one thing was clear: Life Science holds the key to humanity’s survival. With every vaccine, diagnostic tool, and therapy, the power of life science came into light.
Inspired by the incredible contributions and rapidly evolving field, young minds are all set to build a meaningful career in Life Science. But with outdated curriculum, limited industrial knowledge, and a gap between academia and industry, the career path looks uncertain. The biggest questions faced by the students are “how to start” and “where to begin.”
In this era of AI—ML, there is an increasing demand for biotech talent. This new technology is rewriting the rulebook of research and medicine, and emerging startups are redefining innovation. You must be wondering how to prepare for careers that didn’t exist five years ago. How can you stay ahead of this global race?
That’s where the LEAF 2025 comes into play. If you think this is one of those academic or career fairs. Then let me tell you that this is a lifeline, a launching pad, and a lighthouse for someone who wants to navigate in this world of life science.
Biotecnika, the pioneer in life science education and innovation, proudly announces the return of LEAF 2025 — Life Science Education & Career Advancement Fair.
