The key themes of Skillverse 2026 will include identifying skill gaps and workforce requirements in the Life Sciences sector; NeeV initiatives and industry-led models for strengthening Skill Development Centres (SDCs); preparing a future-ready workforce for Industry 5.0; strengthening talent, innovation and global operations in Life Sciences through Global Capability Centres (GCCs); and government initiatives for skill development and workforce transformation.
The event will provide a platform for industry leaders to share best practices, discuss emerging trends and contribute towards shaping India’s national skilling agenda for the Life Sciences sector.
Skillverse 2026 reflects LSSSDC’s commitment to creating a skilled, globally competitive workforce by fostering collaboration between industry, academia, government and training institutions. The summit is expected to generate actionable insights and strategic partnerships that will accelerate talent development across the Life Sciences value chain.
