Helping them develop the ideas are influencers Adam Beales, Demi Isaac Oviawe and MC Fitzpatrick- and ideas are judged by Ireland’s own young genius inventor, Fionn Ferreira.
Each episode will focus on a different theme: fashion, food, waste, transport and homes. In a quest to get some inspiration, ‘Researchers’, Adam, Demi and MC set off across Ireland and the UK to meet a host of trail-blazing inventors and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to a greener future. Each team then brainstorms and develops their own idea and battles it out in a bid to impress Fionn, be crowned episode winners and make it into the grand final.
The series culminates in an exciting showdown as the top ideas compete to be named What’s Next? Series 1 Champions, win the golden brainbox and get an opportunity to present their idea to a mystery millionaire investor.
