Our Initiatives
Our initiatives aim to turn modest support into a big breakthrough
Aegium Foundation works closely with universities and medical research establishments in Queensland to identify how we can help fast-track game-changing possibilities.
We support initiatives that have big potential but sometimes only a little funding – in many cases, our seed funding has attracted support from other sources so worthwhile age-redefining research or services can get off the ground.
Our focus is on fresh, smarter, collaborative approaches that use our funds wisely to achieve far-reaching improvements.
