EY

Meet the 2025 national finalists

Each year, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year recognises ambitious leaders who are driven by a relentless urge to create; bringing their bold vision of a better, brighter world to life, creating a world of possibility.
From creating disruptive technologies and transforming consumer journeys, to building new communities and driving positive social change, there’s no limit to the creativity of entrepreneurs.  Launched in 2001, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program has grown in profile each year and is now recognised as a leading business award in Australia, consistent with its global status.
