Future Minds 2025 holds sponsor launch, 20-year celebration

In a momentous celebration of two decades of empowering Sri Lanka’s youth, Future Minds 2025 Sponsor Launch and 20-Year Celebration was held in grandeur recently at Hilton Residencies, Colombo. 

This landmark event brought together the country’s leading higher educational and commercial sponsors to commemorate the journey of Future Minds, Sri Lanka’s number one higher education and career guidance exhibition.

The evening commenced with the formal signing of partnership agreements between Future Minds and its official sponsors, symbolising the trusted relationships that continue to shape the future of education in the country. A detailed media briefing followed, outlining the roadmap for the 2025 edition and showcasing the growing momentum behind the event series.

The Galle edition, held earlier in January, set the tone for this milestone year. Now, anticipation builds for the upcoming Colombo exhibition, taking place on June 6, 7 and 8, at the BMICH and the Kandy exhibition on June 14 and 15, at Kandy City Centre.

This year, Future Minds has secured the participation of 23 prestigious educational institutions including Platinum sponsors APIIT, Imperial College of Business Studies, UCL and Esoft Uni, Gold sponsors Achievers International Campus, IMC-AIC Campus, ECU Sri Lanka and UTS and Silver sponsors Asiri Academy of Health Sciences, CINEC Campus, Try Migration, IIHS, Metropolitan College, Saegis Campus and SIBA Campus.

Complementing them are leading commercial sponsors, demonstrating strong corporate commitment to youth development: Maggi, Nescafé, Munchee, Sanasa Life Insurance, SLT-Mobitel, Sampath Bank, Capital Maharaja Group and Wijeya Newspapers.

The organising team shared insights into a strategically designed marketing campaign, launched across digital, print and electronic media under a unified thematic approach. The message ‘No One Left Behind’ remains the core philosophy, ensuring access, awareness and opportunity for every aspiring student.

The career guidance segment of Future Minds 2025 was also elaborated on, highlighting a robust framework of psychological counselling and professional guidance services offered free of charge to all student visitors. 

In his address, Future Minds 2025 Chairman Ovin Bimsara said, “For two decades, Future Minds has been more than an exhibition. It has been a national knowledge hub, bridging students, educators and financial institutions, career counsellors to make the dream of higher education a reality for thousands across Sri Lanka.”

The evening also featured a special 20-year milestone video, capturing key achievements and the evolution of the exhibition since its humble beginnings in 2005.
