Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia List: Nominations For Class Of 2021 Are Now Open.  The Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list has been going strong since 2016. The world might have changed considerably since, however, the list’s mission stays the same: Spotting and highlighting young entrepreneurs and innovators who are disrupting their industries and the region.

Age cut-off

To qualify for the Forbes 30 Under 30 2021 list, the nominee must be under 30 by December 31, 2020 (born on or after January 1, 1991).

Eligible Countries and Regions

The Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list covers the entire Asia-Pacific region including Australia, New Zealand and the rest of Oceania, and excluding the Middle East. All those residing in the region and whose business and impact are mainly in these countries are eligible, regardless of their country of origin or citizenship.
