On May 12, Forbes Vietnam revealed its 2016 ‘30 Under 30’ list, featuring 30 of the nation’s most talented young innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders across six categories who are under 30 years of age.

Singer Dong Nhi (or Mai Hong Ngoc).

“These are the future leaders of tomorrow who are now just starting to transform business, technology, media, government, culture and more,” said Forbes Vietnam in making the announcement.

The list was compiled by the Forbes Vietnam team after lengthy research that included consultations with key figures and institutes across the nation such as universities, investment bankers, civic, social organizations and more.

Two key figures that stand out on the list are singer Dong Nhi and designer Lam Gia Khang.

Last year, Dong Nhi won the Best Asian Artist title at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong (China).

Lam Gia Khang, 26, the only talented designer named, recently unveiled he will stage his first-ever fashion show this upcoming July in Ho Chi Minh City.
