The Future 50 Is Here
The chaos and uncertainty of a global pandemic didn’t deter this year’s Future 50—it inspired them to push forward on big ideas and bold initiatives to make the world a better place.
Future 50 project leaders represent rising generations of changemakers dedicated to forging a better tomorrow. The individuals celebrated here are leveraging new technologies, fighting disease and taking on climate change. They’re developing more sustainable sources of food and energy; building residential and commercial spaces with lasting benefits; accelerating efficiency; and unleashing new creativity across organizations and communities.
This year’s Future 50 embody the inclusive, user-centric, forward-focused mindset needed in The Project Economy.
