Know a game-changer under the age of 40? Now’s your chance to shine a spotlight on a rising star of the Capital Region.
Starting May 6, Business Report is officially accepting nominations for our annual Forty Under 40 awards—celebrating the bold, the driven, and the visionary young professionals shaping the future of our business and civic community.
Each year, we honor entrepreneurs, innovators, executives, community leaders and changemakers who have already made major strides in their careers before their 40th birthday. These are the names to watch—leaders who are breaking barriers, building momentum, and inspiring others along the way.
We’re looking for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary leadership, initiative and commitment—to their work, their teams, and their community. Whether they’re in the boardroom, the startup world, the nonprofit space or public service, we want to know who’s making a real impact.
Nominees must be under 40 as of Nov. 1, 2025. The 2025 honorees will be revealed in the November issue of Business Report and celebrated at an exclusive event later that month. Until then, their names will remain under wraps.
Don’t wait—nominations close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 20. Submissions must be made online; late entries or emailed nominations will not be accepted.
Put a rising star on our radar—before time runs out! See a list of past honorees and get answers to questions you may have. Submit your nominations here.
