AI_4_LIFE: Biotech Future Forum 2025, taking place on October 27-29, 2025, in Belgrade, continues to drive the transformation of biotechnology and artificial intelligence, shaping the areas of healthcare, sustainability, and bioeconomy. As Serbia’s national initiative for innovation, the Forum is organized by the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the support from BIO4 Campus.
The Biotech Future Forum is a Serbia’s platform for showcasing advancements in biotech and AI innovation, nurturing collaboration between global leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. It provides a special opportunity to explore evolving trends, exchange ideas, and drive solutions in biotech and AI. With a strategic focus on bridging the gap between scientific research and practical applications, conference is accelerating discoveries that shape the future of healthcare, sustainability, and the bioeconomy.
The 4th edition of this event will introduce an exclusive scientific program on October 28-29, introducing a special collaboration with Nature Journals. This conference aims to foster the open exchange of ideas among bioengineers, biologists, clinical researchers, and industry partners, focusing on the in vitro engineering of tissues and their interactions to create human-relevant disease models. Additionally, we will explore challenges in manufacturing, characterization, and benchmarking, as well as the critical potential role of these models in advancing our understanding of human diseases, and in advancing precision and personalized medicine.
AI_4_LIFE: Modeling the Future of Health, Innovation, and Society
This year, Biotech Future Forum 2025 revolves around one powerful idea: modeling. From how we simulate disease to how we reshape healthcare systems using AI, the Forum explores the predictive power of models to shape a healthier, smarter future for all.
We’ll dive into this central theme across three stages and three distinct tracks:
01 | Modeling Health
How do we better understand, predict, and treat disease?
This track focuses on the use of advanced modeling techniques to revolutionize drug discovery, clinical trials, and personalized medicine. From cancer treatment simulations to the digital twins of human biology, leading experts will explore how modeling is reshaping every step of healthcare, from lab to patient.
Discussion topics:
* Modeling Cancer Treatments: Innovations and Impact
* Modeling the Future of Clinical Trials and Research
02 | Modeling Innovation
Can we model the future of biotech investment, partnerships, and breakthroughs?
This stage examines how data and simulation are changing the way we innovate. From AI-driven venture capital strategies to startup ecosystems built on predictive analytics, we’ll discuss how smarter modeling is driving smarter innovation and impact.
Discussion topics:
* Data-Driven VC: Modeling the Future of Investment
* Serendipity Collective pitching competition
03 | Modeling Life with AI
What does life look like when AI becomes a medical ally?
In this forward-looking track, we explore the ethical, technical, and human dimensions of living alongside AI in healthcare. From AI-powered diagnostics and medical devices to brain-computer interfaces and digital care companions, this theme looks at how AI is transforming not just treatments but lives as well.
Discussion topics:
* AI as Medical Device
* AI in Drug Development
Join us as we bring together global leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to define the future of biotech and AI at the Biotech Future Forum 2025.
Stay at the forefront of innovation!
