Biotech Industrial Academy
Cultivating biotechnology industry talent
With the joint efforts of the government and private sector, Taiwan’s domestic biotechnology industry has continued to grow, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry clusters have gradually taken shape. However, the industry also faces challenges, including a shortage of talent among generic pharmaceutical companies seeking to compete in international markets. At the same time, the number of innovative drug companies has continued to increase, and the demand for skilled professionals is expected to grow accordingly.
Recognizing that talent development is closely linked to the growth of the industry, the Taiwan Bio Industry Organization (TBIO) established the Biotechnology Industry Talent Development Academy in 2016. Guided by the core principle of “The industry understands the industry best; we train our own talent,” the Academy is committed to cultivating the skilled professionals needed by the biotechnology industry.
Based on the principles of systematic development, practical application, and continuous improvement, the Academy designs training programs according to the needs of the industry, invites qualified and experienced instructors to deliver the courses, and continuously monitors and improves training outcomes through long-term evaluationand follow-up.
In 2017 and 2019, the Academy was recognized with the Bronze Award under the Talent Quality-management System (TTQS) by Taiwan’s Workforce Development Agency. In 2019, the Academy was also honored with the National Talent Development Award (NTDA) presented by the Workforce Development Agency, making it the only training organization in Taiwan’s biotechnology sector to receive this recognition.
