The Forty Under 40 Global Awards are to identify, honour and celebrate international icons, a cross-section of the world’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of forty from a wide range of industries, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence and community service and have risen through the ranks of their companies or industries at a relatively young age.
We believe that highlighting the achievements of these rising stars not only honours their success but also provides them with a valuable platform to amplify their voices and create opportunities for the next generation of industry innovators. This initiative encourages young people to pursue excellence from an early age and helps nurture a culture of ambition and achievement.
The Forty under 40 Awards began in 2017, and they’ve been held in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Ghana. The Global Awards are the umbrella body for all the other awards and are open to the entire international community. Our jury is seeking outstanding entrepreneurs, executives, managers, and professionals in the public, private, and non-profit sectors and will recognise attributes such as achievements in business, experience and innovation, vision, leadership, and community involvement.
Our categories cover a wide range of the various sectors you can think of, ranging from banking and finance, energy, family business, agriculture, theatre and arts, journalism, fashion, law, sports, event management, health, technology, and innovation, amongst others.
