Each year, the publication highlights 600 of the brightest young entrepreneurs, leaders and stars across 20 industries, including finance, entertainment, technology, fashion and education.

To determine the list, a group of community leaders, reporters and experts chose the honorees from a pool of thousands of nominees using “a three-layer process.”

“The final product: a collection of bold risk-takers putting a new twist on the old tools of the trade,” the team wrote.
