Introducing our Showcase 2025 Categories and Supporters!

The Apps for Good Showcase is back for 2025! In this exciting annual event, we celebrate the incredible tech innovation skills of young people across the UK. Each year, hundreds of students who have taken part in our computing courses enter and pitch their ground-breaking app ideas to a diverse range of industry professionals.

We are proud to be backed by such fantastic businesses whose financial support and commitment to employee volunteering make Showcase possible. We asked them to share a bit more about their category and what inspired them to get involved.

Kate Pretkel, VP, Global Head of Sustainability at EPAM said:

“At EPAM, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to succeed in the digital world. As part of our commitment to ethical innovation, environmental responsibility and community empowerment, we are deeply invested in advancing access to education. Our partnership with Apps for Good reflects this mission by empowering students to develop vital skills in creativity, teamwork and entrepreneurship. The Apps for Good Showcase provides students with a platform to test their abilities, create innovative tech solutions and share their talents with the world. We’re proud to support the next generation of changemakers and look forward to seeing how their ideas make a real difference in the world.”

Amelia Smith, Senior Projects and Communications Manager at OVO Foundation said:

"OVO Foundation is so proud to support the Climate Changers category of the Showcase. We believe technology has a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis, and love seeing students using their Apps for Good ideas to create a greener, brighter future."

Apps for Good CEO, Natalie Moore said:

"We’re thrilled to welcome social innovation agency Super Being Labs as judges in this year’s Future Founders category. Joining forces with professionals from our valued partners Hg Foundation and Spectris Foundation, they’ll form a powerhouse panel to spot the most impactful, forward-thinking entries!

This category celebrates the next generation of social entrepreneurs - young innovators using technology and creativity to build a fairer, more inclusive world. We can’t wait to see bold ideas that push boundaries and open doors for all."

Charlotte Mukungu, Head of Philanthropy for EMEA, APAC and LATAM at BNY Mellon, said:

"We are excited to collaborate with Apps for Good to empower students with the knowledge and tools to harness AI for social good. This innovative course not only educates on AI’s potential but also cultivates a deep understanding of ethical considerations, guiding students to create impactful solutions."

A very big thank you to all of our Partners who make Showcase possible and good luck to all students who've entered this year!
