Each year, the Forum selects up to 100 Tech Pioneers, who are chief

executives that are developing and applying the most innovative and

transformational technologies. Their cutting-edge work in fields such as

proteomics, peer-to-peer, renewable energy and Internet infrastructure

represents an enormous resource of entrepreneurial talent.

The uniqueness of the Technology Pioneer network ensures that key

entrepreneurs are engaged in an integrated and interdisciplinary way, drawing on

the diversity, creativity and dynamism of each person. The Tech Pioneers will

provide the Foundation and its members with an in-depth knowledge of some of the

key technology issues facing society.

Each year Technology Pioneers are nominated by members, constituents and

collaborators of the World Economic Forum. The criteria for selection include:

Innovation, Growth and Sustainability, Proof of concept, Leadership, Status

and Potential Impact.

Nominees are evaluated by an external review committee comprised of

technology experts with respect to the criteria above, and the World Economic

Forum makes the final decision. Following are Technology Pioneers who were

invited to participate in the 2002 Special Program for Technology Pioneers:
