A New Approach (ANA) named in global 100 Think Tanks to Watch 2025

A New Approach (ANA) is one of only three Australian think tanks named in the worldwide 100 Think Tanks to Watch 2025 list announced this week.

The list by global consultancy On Think Tanks recognises think tanks worldwide demonstrating innovative practices and impactful work.

In announcing the list, On Think Tanks stated: “As one of the few global think tanks focused primarily on culture, ANA deserves close attention.”

ANA’s work on the links between creativity and productivity, as well as ANA’s focus group research capturing how everyday Australians value arts and culture in their lives, were highlighted for their innovation.

Kate Fielding, CEO of ANA, said, “Given nominations from sector professionals and think tanks worldwide inform this list, we are proud to have been recognised by the global community.

“This global community values evidence-based policy, and our ambition for Australia is more purposeful policy action to embed the opportunities of culture and creativity across jurisdictions and portfolios.

“We look forward to a future of collaboration and learning with think tanks shaping ideas and driving change worldwide.”
