Innovators Under 35 is the most prestigious recognition worldwide from MIT Technology Review


Innovators Under 35 Asia Pacific honours the best 20 young talents from Australia, Hong Kong S.A.R., New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan whose superb technical work promises to change the world. 

Our goal is to create a community for the brightest and youngest minds of the region to connect with each other and escalate the impact of their achievements. 

The 10 innovators are given tribute annually at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Asia conference which will be held on 25 and 26 February 2020 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. The list recognises the development of new technology or the creative application of existing technologies to solve global problems in industries such as biotechnology, materials, computer hardware, energy, transportation, communications, and the Internet.
