Future Anything National Grand Final 2025

TUESDAY 18 NOVEMBER | 5PM – 8.45PM AEST

STATE LIBRARY OF QUEENSLAND (BRISBANE) & LIVE ONLINE

Support school-age entrepreneurs from across Australia as they bend the future, one youth-led idea at a time. 

Future Anything unleashes passion, potential and agency in every classroom, empowering young people to turn their passion and curiosity into innovative ideas that make the world a better place.

In 2025, over 8200 students in 85+ schools have built enterprising mindsets, creating innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions to the problem THEY care about through Future Anything’s award-winning Activate program.

Join us as teams go head-to-head to win the support to launch their ideas into the real world in the National Grand Final 2025. There’ll be live pitches, a panel of expert judges, showcase expo and a live People’s Vote. We’ll also unveil the winners of this year’s Future Anything Educator Awards and welcome 2025’s inductees to the Future Anything Hall of Fame.

Attend in person at the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane or watch online live from anywhere in the world! Venue seats are strictly limited, so register NOW to secure your free ticket.
