The BioPartnership Programme is not just about discounts.
BPP members can access a range of extra benefits, including on-site assistance at key conferences, hotel and freight discounts. Our strategic alliances with international organisations enable us to provide our members with extra promotional and networking opportunities when attending conferences abroad - including speaking slots. Our extended payment terms mean that you could, for example, sign up for BIO-Europe Spring in December and only pay in March of the following year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost?
Annual membership costs just £350+VAT per company and is renewable on the anniversary of joining. Your initial membership fee entitles you to join one UK Delegation free of charge
How is this different to a traditional membership scheme?
We regard any UK lifescience company on our mailing list as being eligible for one of our discounts. The BioPartnership Programme additionally entitles you to specially negotiated extra discounts plus a range of practical and administrative services that save you time and defer your costs. You also gain extra international exposure by joining our UK Delegations at some of the larger conferences, 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 £350 +VAT 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.
How can I find out more about TAP grant funding?
If you are planning to attend Bio-Europe, 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
