Open to next-generation founders, emerging creatives, student researchers, early-stage entrepreneurs, and independent minds shaping what comes next.
The Young Innovators category welcomes submissions that reflect bold thinking, principled experimentation, or breakthrough potential across any sector—from AI and biotech to sustainable systems, social platforms, and design tools.
Entrants may present a product, prototype, concept, or early business model—provided it reflects clarity of vision, technical acumen, and relevance to the world ahead.
Whether you’ve built a lab, launched a startup, or reshaped a community from the ground up, this category is designed to recognize the minds already building what others will call the future.
