Across the globe, a new generation of innovative leaders is reshaping what’s possible. They’re building AI models that diagnose disease before symptoms appear. They’re engineering clean energy breakthroughs that could decarbonize entire cities. They’re creating financial tools that open new doors for the unbanked and platforms that scale small businesses into global players.

It’s these individuals – the Founders, Chief Innovation Officers and entrepreneurs – who are turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s solutions. And now, The CEO Magazine is shining a global spotlight on them.

Introducing Top Tech Innovators 2025: a new initiative celebrating the world’s most innovative leaders and the impact they’re making across business and society.

Building what’s next

While the headlines often focus on the impact itself, it’s the people behind it who matter most. What drives someone to disrupt an industry? What does it take to build a product that scales across markets or a platform that changes lives?

These innovators aren’t household names yet. But they’re the reason we’re moving faster, working smarter and thinking bigger than ever before.

Who we’re spotlighting

The Top Tech Innovators 2025 list is open to C-suite leaders and founders who are driving innovation and real-world impact across industries, including (but not limited to):

• Agriculture and farming
• Automotive and aviation 
• Construction and mining
• Education
• Finance and banking
• Healthcare and pharmaceutical 
• AI and data science 
• Transportation and logistics
• Manufacturing
• Retail and ecommerce 

Whether they’re building EV and autonomous vehicle technologies, advancing safety in construction and mining, driving sustainability across supply chains, logistics and beyond or reshaping industries in ways we’ve yet to imagine, these innovators are redefining what’s possible – and we want to hear about it.
