“Supporting young people to explore mental health through creativity is how we help build healthier futures.”


We are absolutely chuffed to welcome Aerogen as one of our Award Partners this year.

Aerogen is proudly sponsoring the Mental Health Award — a category that is especially close to young people’s hearts. Mental health has become one of the most important topics facing students today, particularly following the disruption caused by the global pandemic. It is also the most popular theme chosen by students for their B!G Idea projects.


A Partner Making a Global Impact

Aerogen is the world leader in acute care aerosol drug delivery. Their innovative technology helps people with acute respiratory difficulties receive effective, non-invasive treatment — helping patients recover more quickly and safely. Aerogen’s high-performance aerosol systems deliver up to five times more medication directly to the lungs than traditional nebulisers.

That’s the kind of impact that truly matters.


Supporting Care During COVID-19 and Beyond

COVID-19 placed enormous pressure on respiratory care worldwide.

Aerogen responded by developing closed-circuit aerosol devices designed to reduce the spread of infection and protect both patients and caregivers. Their work played a vital role in hospital emergency, acute, and critical care units during one of the most challenging periods in modern healthcare.


Trusted Worldwide for Over 20 Years

For more than 20 years, Aerogen’s technology has supported over 10 million patients in 75+ countries.

Their mission is clear:

“To design better technology that transforms acute care and improves the wellbeing of respiratory patients worldwide.”

This commitment to innovation, care, and wellbeing aligns strongly with The B!G Idea’s values and our focus on supporting young people through meaningful, real-world challenges.


Industry Recognition and Awards

Aerogen’s excellence is recognised globally. Their achievements include:

  • ISO 13485:2012 certification, CE Mark, and FDA 510(k) approval
  • European Entrepreneur of the Year – European Business Awards (2016)
  • Zenith Award for Respiratory Care Excellence (2013–2019) – American Association of Respiratory Care
  • Irish Exporter of the Year (2014) – Irish Exporters Association
  • Medical Technology Company of the Year (2013) – IMDA / IDA Ireland / Enterprise Ireland

Looking Ahead

The B!G Idea is delighted to have Aerogen on board as a partner.

Together, we look forward to supporting students as they explore mental health challenges with empathy, creativity, and innovation — and to building a partnership that makes a real difference.

We are passionate about supporting our local community and this programme offers a great opportunity for our global team to share their skills & expertise to help students develop solutions to real problems.
