What is the TR35 Global?
Established in 1999 as the TR100, the annual TR35 Global list recognizes the world’s 35 most outstanding innovators who are younger than 35. The awards span a wide range of fields, including biotechnology, materials, computer hardware, energy, transportation, and the Internet. We are searching for individuals whose superb technical work promises to shape the coming decades. Our goal is to recognize the development of new technology or the creative application of existing technologies to solve problems. We also reward ingenious and elegant work that matters to the world at large—not just to peers in a particular field or industry. Technology Review showcases the TR35 Global winners, including our Humanitarian of the Year, in our September/October issue and online at www.technologyreview.com/tr35. We also recognize the finalists for TR35 Global at the Emtech MIT conference in October.
