Contact Nomia
Help build the evidence, capability and partnerships required to test the Nomia proposition.
Nomia welcomes serious enquiries from scientists, growers, agricultural organisations, government, philanthropy, corporates, equipment suppliers and technical partners.
The pathway is under scientific evaluation. Contact does not imply formal participation, appointment, funding or endorsement.
Serious collaboration across science, agriculture and delivery
Science & research
Experimental design, native bee ecology, taxonomy, statistics, crop-pollination science and review.
Farmers & agriculture
Potential field participation, crop validation and practical land-management input.
Government & institutions
Research, biosecurity, policy, approvals, extension and co-funding collaboration.
Philanthropy & funding
Catalytic anchor funding, staged grants and program partnerships.
Equipment & technical
Machinery, water, energy, monitoring, construction, logistics and professional services.
Corporate partnerships
Strategic support that strengthens research capability without compromising scientific independence.
A multi-partner national effort
Nomia's preferred Year-1 establishment configuration is currently estimated at approximately AUD 8.9 million, subject to final science, engineering, approvals, quotations, procurement and Board oversight.
The intended funding model is diversified. Catalytic anchor partners are particularly valuable because early institutional support can unlock other philanthropy, industry, growers and public participation.
Before contacting
Please provide enough information to understand your enquiry, but do not send unnecessary confidential, commercially sensitive or personal information in an initial message.
An initial enquiry does not create an agreement, research appointment, funding commitment or participation right.
Government Evidence: The Damage Is Already Being Felt
The consequences of Varroa destructor in Australia are no longer merely projections. Australian government agencies are documenting impacts on beekeepers, hive numbers, pollination services and the effectiveness of available Varroa treatments.
Read the Australian Government and state government evidence directly.
Individual reports of hive loss, treatment resistance, increased pollination cost or crop impact should not automatically be treated as national averages. Nomia distinguishes documented current impacts from credible future risks and relies wherever possible on primary government and scientific evidence.
