MIT Technology Review Announces Annual Innovators Under 35 List

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, MIT Technology Review releases its annual list of Innovators Under 35 (http://www.technologyreview.com/innovatorsunder35). The people in our 16th annual celebration of young innovators are disrupters and dreamers. They're inquisitive and persistent, inspired and inspiring. No matter whether they're pursuing medical breakthroughs, refashioning energy technologies, making computers more useful, or engineering cooler electronic devices—and regardless of whether they are heading startups, working in big companies, or doing research in academic labs—they all are poised to be leaders in their fields.

Hundreds of people were nominated for this group. After MIT Technology Review's editors narrowed the list, outside judges evaluated the quality and potential impact of the finalists' work, guiding the selections you'll find here.

The 2016 List:

The selection process begins with hundreds of nominations from the public, MIT Technology Review editors, and international partners who publish Innovators Under 35 lists in their regions. The editors pare the list to about 80 people, who submit descriptions of their work and letters of reference. Then outside judges rate the finalists on the originality and impact of their work; that feedback helps the editors choose this group. 

This year's honorees will be featured online at technologyreview.com starting today, and in the September/October print magazine, which hits newsstands worldwide on August 30. They will also appear in person at the upcoming EmTech MIT conference, to be held October 18–20 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (www.EmTechMIT.com).
