Innovation sparks ideas. Impact transforms lives.
Beyond Innovation, Building Impact
The 2026 theme, “Beyond Innovation: Building Impact,” reflects a powerful evolution in how success and leadership are defined. Today, ideas alone are not enough. True leaders are those who execute with discipline, create sustainable value, and deliver outcomes that extend beyond personal achievement.
This year, Connected Pakistan 30Under30 honors young leaders who have moved from concept to contribution — individuals who have built platforms, companies, communities, technologies, and solutions that matter.

A Proven Legacy of Excellence
In 2025, Connected Pakistan successfully launched the first edition of 30Under30 under the theme:
“The Future Belongs to Innovative Minds.”
From 2734 nominations across Pakistan, only 30 exceptional individuals were selected through a structured evaluation process. These individuals represented diverse fields including technology, entrepreneurship, digital innovation, social impact, creative industries, and professional services.
The overwhelming response and national recognition established Connected Pakistan 30Under30 as a credible, competitive, and impact-driven platform — setting a strong foundation for the 2026 edition.
