Representatives from seven WHO-designated Regional Training Centres (RTCs) for Biomanufacturing, the Global Training Hub for Biomanufacturing (GTH-B), the WHO Academy and WHO regional offices gathered in Geneva from 3 to 5 June 2026 to strengthen collaboration and accelerate implementation of the WHO Biomanufacturing Workforce Training Initiative (BWTI).
The three-day Synergizing Biomanufacturing Workforce Development Conference marked the first in-person convening of key partners under the Initiative since the designation of the RTCs earlier this year. The meeting provided a platform to align priorities, share expertise and advance a coordinated approach to workforce development in support of sustainable local production of vaccines, biotherapeutics and other health products.
