About the Innovators Under 35 (MIT Technology Review)

The 35 Innovators Under 35 is our yearly opportunity to take a look at not just where technology is now, but where it's going and who's taking it there. More than 500 people are nominated every year, and from this group the editors pick the most promising 100 to move on to the semifinalist round. Their work is then evaluated by our panel of judges who have expertise in such areas as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, software, energy, and materials. With the insight gained from these rankings, the editors pick the final list of 35.
