UBP Career Day 2026

UBP Career Day is Uppsala Business Park’s career event for people who want to explore opportunities, companies and career paths within life science, tech and related fields.

Meet companies in Uppsala Business Park, learn more about what they do, what competences they look for and what kinds of roles and opportunities may exist — now or in the future.

Whether you are studying, recently graduated, completing a PhD, working as an operator, engineer or technical specialist — or simply curious about your next step in life science — this is an opportunity to get closer to the companies and competences in the park.

Some companies may have current openings, thesis projects, internships or summer job opportunities. Others are there to meet future talent, share insights and build connections.

The event is organized in collaboration with Uppsala University, the Operator Training Program and the companies in Uppsala Business Park.
