Providing services to our members is a critical role of the WBMA. As a private trade association, the WBMA offers services that are vitally important to biotech, medical device, and associate member companies and organizations.

The WBMA Purchasing Consortium saves our members thousands of dollars annually. Our consortium partners also provide important revenue support for the WBMA. Both biotech and associate members have the opportunity to purchase goods and services from selected vendors at discounted prices. The WBMA is constantly developing new Consortium partnerships.

Seminars and other social and professional events offer our members important opportunities for learning and networking. Each fall the WBMA/Third Coast Scientific Community's annual conference brings to Wisconsin nationally and internationally renowned speakers to address a variety of biotech topics. Periodically the WBMA offers members seminars and luncheons with programs designed to help them build their biotech companies. Program topics include such issues as how to design a biotech facility from day one to final development and how to identify and evaluate research park locations and opportunities.
