The competition once again highlighted bold thinking and a diverse range of perspectives, celebrating innovation in all its forms. Five finalists were selected through an online application process and invited to present their ideas in a five-minute virtual pitch to a distinguished panel of judges from the Brilliant Minds network. This unique opportunity allowed each finalist to share their vision, demonstrate their potential, and engage directly with leaders and experts from across industries.

The winner of Brilliant Innovators 2026, Rebaba, was invited to join us on the Brilliant Minds stage in June to unveil their concept to the entire Brilliant Minds audience, and also received a mentorship from within the Brilliant Minds network, a 12-month lease of a BMW, a ticket to Brilliant Minds 2027, and an exclusive invitation to participate in one of Brilliant Minds’ international events, setting the stage for even greater opportunities and impact in the year ahead.
