In 2025, we gathered at the NEXUS Australia Summit to amplify brave voices and champion bold ideas. Together, we will connect across sectors, inspire through shared experiences, and activate new pathways to accelerate change and achieve lasting impact.

Our world is evolving rapidly, and the need for innovative solutions has never been more urgent. NEXUS' 2025 Summit was a call to action, urging each of us to step up with courage and creativity to foster new solutions through collaboration. As emerging leaders in philanthropy, impact investing, and social change, we face a critical moment - one that demands bold ideas to solve wicked problems and brave voices to lead the way.

The 2025 NEXUS Australia Summit was a a space to reflect on the lessons of the past, explore fresh ideas for the future, and reaffirm our commitment to shaping a more equitable and sustainable nation and world. Through the NEXUS Australia pillars - Connect, Inspire, Activate - we forged the connections necessary to secure lasting impact, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

At NEXUS, we believe in the power of asking: What’s your passion, and how can I help? This Summit will challenge each of us to explore our deepest passions and support one another in turning them into bold actions for a better future. This is the moment to harness the power of collective action.
