From July 4th to 5th, the Forbes China UNDER 30 10th Anniversary Summit was successfully held in Longfu Temple in Beijing. Previous Forbes China 30 Under 30 lists, industry leaders, well-known investors, list judges, government representatives and Forbes China Group executives gathered together to witness this youth event for young people in China.
First launched in 2012, the Forbes China 30 Under 30 list (hereinafter referred to as the U30 list) is a representative project of Forbes China to observe and record China's young innovation and entrepreneurship forces. So far, the list has included more than 2,000 outstanding young people, including five Forbes global billionaires, more than 40 unicorn company founders, and one high-profile Nobel Prize candidate. This 10th anniversary summit is a perfect end for Forbes China and Chinese young people to draw a perfect end to the last decade, and it is also a new starting point for us to go to the next decade together, so it is an important milestone for both Forbes China and the U30 list.
