Collaborate
with us
Across Australia, organisations are trying many different ways to engage young people. Those lessons are rarely shared. We brought the sector into one room to change that.

Build the skills, ideas and connections your organisation needs for what's next.
We partner with organisations to create experiences that engage employees, connect you with emerging talent and turn big ideas into action.
The future of work isn't coming. It's already here.
Young people are entering the workforce with different expectations. AI is reshaping jobs. And the skills organisations need tomorrow aren't always the ones they needed yesterday.
Future Minds brings together emerging talent, industry expertise and hands-on experiences to help organisations engage their people, explore what's next and build the capabilities to act on it.
Explore how we can make magic together
Whether you're looking to connect with the next generation, energise your team or explore a new challenge, we'll build an experience around what you're trying to achieve.
Events
From youth-focused experiences to industry events, we create memorable moments that put your organisation in front of emerging talent.
We've worked with UNIQLO Australia, Ferrero, Cartier and Monash University to create fun, high-energy experiences that bring young people and organisations together.
Workshops
Practical, hands-on sessions designed to build future-ready capabilities, challenge thinking and get people collaborating.
We've delivered workshops with organisations including the City of Melbourne, State Library Victoria and Future Group, across entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and future skills.
Hackathons & Innovation Challenges
Bring your teams, emerging talent or both together to tackle a real-world challenge.
We design and facilitate end-to-end innovation experiences — from the challenge brief and workshops through to prototyping, pitching and judging.
Speaking & Panels
From keynote talks to fireside conversations and panels, we bring practical insight on young people, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology and the future of work.
Our team has spoken with Fortune 500 companies on platforms including the World Economic Forum, World Youth Development Forum, UN Climate Change conferences, alongside leading businesses, universities and government.

Custom Collaborations
Sometimes the best idea doesn't fit neatly into a category.
We'll work with you to design a program, experience or challenge around your goals — whether that's engaging your employees, connecting with emerging talent, developing future skills, driving innovation or creating social impact.
Our past collaborations
Here are a few of the collaborations we've brought to life with organisations across business, government, education and beyond.

Future of Education workshop, 2021
What if failure was part of the curriculum?
We brought together 50 Victorian principals for a hands-on workshop exploring how failure-based learning could be embedded into the curriculum. Together, we used design thinking and future-focused approaches to rethink how schools could build more resilient and adaptable students.

Insights for Tomorrow, 2023
How do we stay relevant to the next generation of consumers?
We worked with Ferrero's global and Asia Pacific teams to understand how young Australians are changing as consumers — from what they value to how they discover and engage with brands.

Intergenerational Hackathon, 2023
What could we solve if different generations and disciplines worked together?
In Bangkok, we co-hosted a global Health & Climate Hackathon bringing together 60 academics, UN experts, health professionals and emerging leaders from around the world. Teams developed new ideas at the intersection of health, climate and intergenerational collaboration — turning a complex global challenge into an opportunity for collective action.
Future of Retail Hackathon, 2026
How do you create a brand experience young people actually want to be part of?
We worked with UNIQLO Australia to create an engaging experience designed around creativity, connection and the next generation. A high-energy experience that brought 150 young people and brand together in a way that felt authentic, interactive and memorable

The Innovation Garage
How can we give young people in regional Australia the skills and confidence to create their own opportunities?
We partnered with Toyota to deliver a STEM and entrepreneurship program supporting 200 young people across regional Australia to turn ideas into real-world ventures. Through hands-on learning, mentoring and practical business development, participants developed the skills to take an idea from concept to business.
