For the first time, the BBJ has highlighted some of these “rising” stars” as part of a partnership with our sister publication Mass High Tech. The 15 Rising Stars were nominated by readers from across all sectors, and yes, they are all under 30 and doing remarkable things within their industries. Meanwhile, MHT’s 15 Tech Luminaries choices reflect deep accomplishment in various technology-related industries. Together, it’s potent players in the local economy, and we hope their success will inspire others to innovate, which is the main driving force of the Boston economy.
