What is BiOS?

The BiOS Initiative emerged in response to current business and legal landscapes which prevent many groups within the developed and developing world from accessing and harnessing biological science technologies. The initiative will foster democratic innovation in the application of biological technologies through the astute use of intellectual property informatics and analysis, innovation system structural reform and cooperative open access technology development activities.

The objective of the BiOS Initiative is to create a public-spirited and public-good based initiative with respect to biological innovations.

The BiOS Initiative will develop, promote and validate a new means for the invention, improvement and delivery of biological technologies.
