30 under 30 - 2026

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.
