2025 Future Anything National Grand Final

Welcome to the 2025 Future Anything National Grand Final!

Join Future Anything and the top school-aged entrepreneurs from across Australia as we bend the future, one youth-led idea at a time. 

This year, more than 8000 students from over 85 schools have been involved in our flagship, and award-winning, Activate program.

Delivered over a term or semester by primary and secondary classroom teachers, young people take an enterprising approach to their learning - ideating, prototyping, and pitching their own innovative solutions to the challenging problems in our world.

From 500+ applications in this year's competition, join us as our top teams go head-to-head in the 2025 Future Anything National Grand Final to win a share in $100k+ in funding and support to launch their ideas into the real world.

There'll be live pitches in our very own 'Shark Tank' with a panel of expert judges and an exciting Showcase Expo with the chance for you to pick your favourite team in the always hotly-contested People's Vote. Plus, our young entrepreneurs will be selling their wares - so don't forget your wallet!

We'll also unveil the winners of the 2025 Future Anything Educator Awards.  

Attend in person at The State Library of Queensland in Brisbane, or register for a livestream ticket to watch live from anywhere in the world. 

Seats are extremely limited so register now to secure your spot - this event will 'sell' out!
