Future Minds Accelerator

We support and inspire startups and the ecosystem to tackle a 21st Century challenge: how can we prepare Australia’s young people to thrive in the jobs of the future? The Future Minds Accelerator is part of Rio Tinto’s AUD $10 million investment in a new four-year program targeted at school-age learners. Developed in partnership with leading startup accelerator BlueChilli and Amazon Web Services, we aim to prepare young Australians for the digital future, helping fast-track development of skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, automation, systems design, and data analytics.
