Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different to a traditional membership scheme?
We regard any UK lifescience company on our mailing list as a BioPartner ordinary member. The BioPartnership Programme additionally entitles you to specially negotiated discounts plus a range of practical and administrative services that save you time and defer your costs. You also gain extra international exposure at BIO-Europe, BIO-Europe Spring and Genesis through being part of a group, and through our contacts and partners overseas.
How does this affect my TAP grant application?
To receive UKTI TAP funding your company must meet the eligibility criteria, and join the UK Delegation at a fee of £300 per event. This is the price of promotional benefits and covers some of our costs in supporting your attendance. If you have been awarded a TAP grant and have already paid your BioPartnership Programme dues, you can use this to cover the UK Delegation fee as long as you have not already taken up any other discounts within the membership year. You will then need to rejoin the BioPartnership Programme before further discounts can be applied.
How can I find out more about TAP grant funding?
If you are planning to attend Bio-Europe or Bio-Europe Spring, your company may be eligible for a grant under the Tradeshow Access Programme. These grants can only be obtained through BioPartner.co.uk. You do not have to exhibit to get a grant: if you are represented on the UK Pavilion you may be awarded £1,000 per company per event. If you are purchasing exhibition space, you may apply instead for a £1,400 grant. Eligibility criteria apply: for more information, click here
What does it cost?
Annual membership costs just £300+VAT per company and is renewable on the anniversary of joining.
