Eight weeks. One challenge: take an idea from zero to something real. Now, it’s time to see what they built.

Demo Day marks the finale of the first 2056 NextGen Builders Bootcamp — an eight-week builders’ experience for 15–18-year-olds inside the 2056 Club.

Over the programme, Fellows have worked in small teams to identify meaningful problems, speak with real users, challenge their assumptions, and use AI to turn their ideas into working prototypes. Along the way, they’ve explored product design, business models, testing, go-to-market and — finally — how to tell the story of what they created.

On Demo Day, the tables turn into a stage.

Each team will present its project in front of 2056 Club members, founders, investors, mentors and judges — sharing not only what they built, but what they discovered along the way.

The strongest teams will be selected to continue to the next stage, with the Top 3 presenting at the VNTR Global Investor Summit on 10 November.

The Pitches
Young builders presenting the problems they chose to solve and the prototypes they created.

The Jury
Founders, investors and entrepreneurs bringing real-world perspective to the room.

The Next Generation
A chance for Club members to meet young people learning something that cannot be taught through lectures alone: how to turn curiosity into action.

It is their first Demo Day. And potentially, the first chapter of something much bigger.
