Notable quotes

We're excited to welcome the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation to our sixth fund, joining HESTA, Hostplus, CSL, QIC and the WA Government. Closing at $439 million, BB6 is our largest fund to date, and we remain committed to advancing breakthrough biomedical innovations.

Chris Nave · Brandon Capital Fund Six announcement · 2025-07-24

Medical science has long development timelines, and it is important for the NRFC to make early and considered investments in the sector to attract the talent and capital that we will need to build our local commercialisation capabilities. If we want medical science jobs and industries to exist in Australia in ten years, we need to invest in them today.

David Gall · National Reconstruction Fund Corporation announcement · 2025-07-24

Chris and I, along with the entire Brandon team, are very aware of the privilege and responsibility we have to continue delivering returns for all our stakeholders; outcomes for patients, STEM jobs for our children and grandchildren, economic diversification, and returns for investors.
