20 Under 40 Class of 2021

Entrepreneurs, innovators and visionaries ― announcing the 20 Under 40 Class of 2021

SINCE 2013, LONDON’S 20 Under 40 program, presented in partnership with the Twenty Under Forty Foundation, has celebrated younger Londoners who are moving the city forward.

It’s a special class this year, as we’ve seen many of our Top 40s roll with the punches that the pandemic has thrown at them. It’s a great collection of entrepreneurs, innovators, healthcare providers and visionaries who give countless hours to make London a better place to live.

The 20 Under 40 Class of 2021 includes leaders across a range of industries who are excelling in their individual endeavours. But if there is a commonality among them, it is that they are creating opportunities not just for themselves, but also for others. They are building companies that provide careers, doing research that improves and lengthens lives, creating new products and technologies and pushing for sustainable practices that benefit both people and corporations.

And across the board, London Inc.’s 20 Under 40 Class of 2021 is engaged with the city. They give back in unique and interesting ways and are building a better future for the city and those who live here.

Ultimately, this is an inspirational group of Londoners at a time when most of us could use a little inspiration.

Please join me in congratulating these outstanding young professionals. This year’s winners will be profiled in the February issue of London Inc. and at an in-person reception early in 2022.
