Washington Biotechnological & Biomedical Association

Our Mission: Innovation to Realization… supporting breakthrough discoveries that create better health solutions.

We accomplish this mission through advocacy, enterprise support and the enhancement of research collaboration. The employees, services and the efforts of the WBBA are fully funded through memberships (87% of which are tax deductible), sponsorships, and event registration fees. WBBA provides these services through representatives in Seattle, Olympia, Eastern Washington, and through coalition partners in Washington, DC.

By partnering with member organizations, we will provide better health solutions in multiple ways.

• Innovation – working closely and supporting our research institutions, inventors and entrepreneurs to broaden the impact of breakthrough discoveries.
• Capital – facilitating access to capital, especially early stage funding.
• Talent – helping to recruit, train and retain the talent needed to grow life sciences in Washington.
• Environment – ensuring that Washington is a great place to start, grow and retain the organizations needed to remain competitive and prosperous.
