The seventh annual Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe ranking reflects the power of young entrepreneurs and leaders to transform business and society.
To say that efforts have been made for Europeans for the past few years would be an understatement. After suffering the effects of a devastating global pandemic, they were shaken again this year by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, 300 visionaries featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2022 rankings raised more than $2 billion for their businesses, innovated and collectively raised by last year’s winners more than double the amount. It should come as no surprise that 80% of those on this list believe the European economy is ripe for entrepreneurship.
This year’s winners are boldly redefining 10 industries in nearly 30 countries. They are the result of thousands of international nominations and the support of expert judges, and join a community of young entrepreneurs including singer-songwriter Adele, Spotify CEO Daniel Eck, actress Cynthia Erivo and athlete Marcus Rashford.
Some of this year’s winners are already known, such as 27-year-old Simone Ashley, who captivated audiences as Kate Sharma in the second season of Netflix’s hit series The Bridgerton Chronicle. and Khabane (Khabi) Lang, 22, the most-followed TikToker after Charlie D’Amelio, who garnered 137 million followers by quietly mocking overly complicated life advice.
And then there are some whose names you might not know today, but which you will soon know. Take the example of James McIlroy, 29, founder and CEO of Enterobiotics, which reformulates stool therapy, an invasive procedure that moves microbes from a healthy patient to a sick person’s intestine. It has raised about $23 million and plans to begin a phase II clinical trial focused on liver disease by the end of the year. Equally influential is Anastasia Lapatina, a 20-year-old journalist working for The Kyiv Independent whose heartbreaking reporting on the Russian invasion has earned her more than 600,000 Twitter followers. She was joined in the rankings by her colleagues Toma Istomina, Anna Myroniuk and Oleksiy Sorokin, who founded the Kyiv Independent following the sudden closure of her former employer, Kyiv Post.
These are just some of the incredible young leaders featured in this year’s rankings. For a broader perspective, see all the information related to the 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe Rankings.
