Introducing 300 of the region’s brightest young stars—all under 30 years old. Our correspondents have been on the hunt for precocious entrepreneurs, tomorrow’s most promising leaders and other talents who are challenging convention. They found hundreds of candidates from every corner of Asia-Pacific. We grouped them into ten categories, and then outside judges made the final selection of 30 people for each. The result is a field guide to who is changing the face of the region, both now and for decades to come.
