Four Vietnamese men have broken into this year’s 30 Under 30 in Asia, an annual list compiled by Forbes to recognize the most influential people in Asia across various categories.
They are Nguyen Van Quang Huy, Pham Anh Duc, Luu The Loi and Victor Tran.

Now in its third year, the annual 30 Under 30 Asia list features 300 young innovators and disruptors across 10 categories from 24 countries across Asia-Pacific – including Azerbaijan and North Korea for the first time.
The list this year “features 300 young innovators and disruptors across 10 categories who are re-inventing their industries and driving change across this diverse region.”
Last year, Forbes honored three Vietnamese entrepreneurs and rapper Suboi, who has been dubbed Vietnam’s “Queen of Hip Hop” by prestigious global news agencies such as The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian and CNN.
In 2016, the magazine named seven Vietnamese entrepreneurs and scientists on its annual list.
