This collaborative functioning is fostered by the BioBasque Agency, the entity that represents BioBasque and the instrument created to implement the BioBasque 2010 strategy. It is also a one-stop shop for information and a catalyst for the improvement of the framework where the biosciences sector is growing.

In practice, the main tasks of the Agency include:

• Co-ordination of actors involved in biosciences, including research organisations, Innovation System, and public administration.

• Advice for the Basque Government on questions related to biosciences.

• Advice on the allocation of funds.

• Provision of information on the biosciences sector in the Basque Country.

• Orientation of existing business diversifying towards the biosciences.

• Internal and external marketing of bioscience activities (business, scientific) within BioBasque.

• Supra-regional cooperation.

The BioBasque Agency belongs to the Basque Development Agency (Sociedad para la Promoción Industrial - SPRI), a public company dependent on the Basque Government (Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism).
