It's back for 2026!

The AUT Youth Shark Tank (formerly the Innovation Franklin Shark Tank) is here — and it’s your chance to turn ideas into opportunity.

Sponsored by AUT, we’re calling on young people aged 15–18 with a business idea, product, or community initiative to step forward and pitch to our panel of expert “sharks.” Whether it’s a big vision or a simple idea with potential, this is your chance to be heard, gain real-world feedback, and take your next step.

Our incredible judges coming soon

AUT Youth Shark Tank Prize Pack coming soon
