It’s true – without our sponsors NZIBO would not be where it is today. If you would like to become a sponsor please contact us.

NZIBO is proudly sponsored by (in alphabetical order):

The Biology educators Association of New Zealand (BEANZ) has supported NZIBO since our inception. It is through teachers that students get to know about NZIBO and without the support of teachers we would not be able to provide this wonderful opportunity to New Zealand students.

BIOZONE supports NZ International Biology Olympiad and donated IB Biology and Anatomy & Physiology books as prizes for the finalists. BIOZONE specialises in the production of high-quality instructional materials for high school sciences in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, plus editions tailored to international programs. BIOZONE is passionate about teaching science and provides resources that excite, enrich, engage and empower to help support science education across the world.

The School of Natural and Computational  Sciences, based on Massey's Albany, Auckland campus, generates, disseminates and preserves scientific knowledge of the highest quality. They offer an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse community in a unique interdisciplinary atmosphere. For many years, Massey University's campus in Albany has co-hosted the annual Team Selection and Training camp. Providing access to modern laboratories, facilitating challenging practical tasks and engaging our learners in current research contexts, Massey has become an invaluable partner.

Royal Society Te Apārangi provides invaluable support, helping to increase participation of our talented students in the NZIBO programme by assisting with our outreach to schools via their email newsletter and email contact lists for biology educators in New Zealand. The Society also administers the Talented School Students Travel Award which is the major source of funds for our students representing NZ at the international competition. This award has been established to support Yr9 – Yr13 school students, providing funds to help cover the direct travel costs to nationally recognised science and technology based events outside New Zealand.
