Biotech Future Forum
The international conference Biotech Future Forum is a national initiative that covers all areas of everyday life strongly influenced by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology, and involves key government, business, scientific, and international stakeholders in Serbia. The project aims to enhance access to AI and biotech and their benefits for both the broader public and professionals within the country, in the region and beyond, in line with global trends in these fields.
This collaborative initiative was launched in 2022 by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in cooperation with the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Special support for the organization of the Forum is provided by the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation and BIO4 Campus, a new bioeconomic hub in Eastern Europe.
Since 2022, the Forum has become a regular annual event in Belgrade, bringing together global policymakers, industry leaders, scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts in these fields. Over the past two years, we’ve attracted over 1,500 participants and welcomed over 100 speakers and moderators from around the globe to discuss global trends in digital and biotech transformation and highlight Serbia’s contributions and tech innovations. Through the exchange of knowledge and experiences, as well as networking, participants will gain new insights into the topics discussed and create opportunities for collaboration.
