Belarusians live and work in dozens of countries, building careers in Berlin, Warsaw, New York, London, Tel Aviv, launching startups, conducting research at leading universities, and creating products for the global market.
The Next 35 initiative aims to showcase the brightest representatives of the new generation of Belarusians who are already achieving success at the international level today.
The organizers emphasize that this is not a competition or a ranking, but an attempt to recognize people who are already moving forward, tackling complex tasks, and setting trends in their respective fields.
The list covers seven categories:
- Rising Stars;
- Science & Thinkers;
- Builders;
- Creators;
- Artists;
- Innovators;
- Impact.
The Next 35 advisory board includes representatives from business, science, culture, and media, among them EPAM Systems co-founder Leanid Lozner, Behavox co-founder Kiryl Trembavolski, Harvard Medical School associate professor Yury Papou, music producer Mikalai Skrobat, director Darya Zhuk, as well as startup founders, IT entrepreneurs, and media project leaders.
Belarusians aged 35 and under, who are implementing international-scale projects or working on tasks that extend beyond one country, can apply. Other candidates can also be nominated.
Applications will be accepted from July 6 to July 26.
