Forbes 30 UNDER 30

FOR THE VISIONARIES featured in our 14th annual Forbes 30 Under 30, the only constant is change-and this year we're changing the way we list them as well.

Every company is a tech company now, so we swapped out the Enterprise and Consumer Tech categories for AI and Transportation. What hasn't changed: the outsize influence of 2025's Under 30 honorees. They're inventing new tech to treat tumors, expanding access to electric vehicle charging, making credit cards more secure-even dreaming of reflective satellites that could bring the sun out at night. To identify this standout group, Forbes editors, alongside expert independent judges, reviewed more than 10,000 candidates, evaluating them on financials, creativity and impact. The result: 600 young leaders steering the future of business and culture.
