Purchasing Program
OKBio partners with the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) to provide our sponsors with the largest cost-savings program in the life sciences industry.  This program, BIO Business Solutions, provides discounted pricing and other benefits on products and services to companies such as VWR, Office Depot, Chubb and UPS.

On average, OKBio sponsors participating in this program saved over $5,000 on lab supplies, UPS shipping, insurance and more!!  Think what your organization could save!

BIO Affiliation
OKBio’s affiliation with the BIO, the world’s largest biotechnology organization, provides access to federal advocacy, business development and communications services.
