20 Under 40

20 Under 40 Class of 2026 Unveiled!

A city rising: Celebrating the 20 Under 40 Class of 2026

SINCE 2013, LONDON’S 20 Under 40 program has celebrated dynamic young Londoners who are moving our city forward, and the 20 Under 40 Class of 2026 is, by all measures, doing just that. This year’s 20 Under 40 list reflects the growth and expansion of ideas that continue to make London a world-class city. The Class of 2026 features entrepreneurs and investors, scientists and researchers, lawyers and developers, athletes, frontline social workers and more.  

But the 20 Under 40 program is not just about professional achievement ― it’s also about giving back. And if there is a commonality among our recipients, 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, working on the street with those facing homelessness or addiction, creating new products and technologies and pushing for sustainable practices that benefit both people and businesses.

And across the board, the 20 Under 40 Class of 2026 is engaged with the city. They give back in unique and interesting ways and are building a better future for London and those who live here.

Our 20 Under 40 Class of 2026 will be profiled in the upcoming February-March issue of London Inc. As well, the recipients will be celebrated at the 2026 20 Under 40 Cocktail Gala on Thursday, March 12 at 100 Kellogg Lane. Mark your calendar and join the recipients, 20 Under 40 alumni and a who’s who of our business community for an evening of social networking and celebration of the city’s finest young contributors.
