Future Ones | Focus on Design

Among the well known and former F1 design engineers are South African, including Rory Byrne (Ferrari, Benneton) and Gordon Murray (McLaren, Brabham). Both are still active in their careers, inspiring high performance road vehicles and safe driving. Can we build on this legacy? Yes, we can!

STEM awareness and excellence is critical to success in the future of business, sport, health and lifestyle. In a country like South Africa, the automotive sector is a key value creator, yet the pipeline of STEM graduates leaks high potential talent.

Future Ones is a not-for-profit focussing on STEM design in motorsport and allied industries. The aim is to enable high potential success by unlocking STEM imagination and exposing bright young minds to aspirational career opportunities in motorsport, in South Africa and across the African continent. Our "Pupil-to-Pinnacle quest aims to get young STE(A)M talent working in Formula One, international motorsport and allied industries. We deliver through our eco-system of STEM industry partners and event organisers, including Ansys South Africa, the Knysna Hillclimb and S2L online.
