Frequently asked questions
Who can join?
Anyone interested in biotechnology — companies, universities, associations, professionals and students. Choose the category that fits you; the Secretariat can advise.
How long does membership last?
Membership runs by calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December.
How do I renew?
Each December the Secretariat sends a renewal notice for the coming year. Please pay by 31 January; memberships not renewed by then will lapse.
When will I receive a receipt?
An official receipt is issued within 5 working days of payment.
When is the member directory updated?
The member directory is updated every March.
Do I also become a GBABA member?
Yes. Every HKBIO membership category includes membership of the Greater Bay Area Biotechnology Alliance and access to its events.
I don’t know two members to nominate me. What should I do?
Submit the form anyway — the Secretariat can help arrange nomination, for example after you attend an HKBIO event.
