Next Big Things in Tech 2024

This year, a panel of 19 Fast Company editors and writers has selected our 138 Next Big Things in Tech honorees. The winners span 28 categories, including AI and Data, Space and Telecom, and Health. (Here’s the methodology we use to choose honorees.) From corporate giants to ambitious startups, each honoree has demonstrated impressive progress—and we looked for innovations that not only show immediate promise but also have the potential to drive lasting change in the years ahead.
