It also aimed to honour young talented people who have wide influence in the fields they are active in such as business, technological start-ups, science and social activities, besides art, music, entertainment and sports, he said.
Notable figures on the list include Nguyen Thanh Ngu, CEO of the Thanh Thanh Cong Tay Ninh Sugar Joint Stock Company; Tran Hong Viet, deputy director of XLE Gro (a leading sports organisation in Viet Nam); Nguyen Hai Ninh, founder and CEO of the Coffee House store chain; and Le Thi Phuong Giang, general director of An Corporative.

Editorial Secretary of Forbes Viet Nam Nguyen Lan Anh said more and more young people were starting businesses in the field of technology and using the Internet as a tool to develop their services.
While there were still a few large enterprises founded by young people under 30, many of this age group held important executive positions in major companies, Forbes Viet Nam said.
