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.
