The finalists for the 2025 Indo Pacific Innovation Awards have been announced.
This year, the program takes on a bold new format, combining the prestigious Innovation Awards with the high-energy Pitchfest to showcase Australia’s most promising technologies at every stage of development.
Each finalist will pitch live at Indo Pacific 2025, with 90% of their score already decided by an expert judging panel and 10% by the onsite Pitch Panel. Winners will be revealed during the event at ICC Sydney.
The first three category winners will each receive $40,000, the Blue-Sky Thinking Award winner $10,000, and an additional trophy for Best Presenter will also be awarded.
With demand for innovation and rapid capability delivery to the Australian Defence Force at an all-time high, these finalists represent the cutting edge of ideas set to shape the future.
