When it comes to turning 30, it is safe to say that the country is divided on whether this milestone is positive or negative.
Many, understandably, fear the end of their 20s, seeing it as a reminder of their youth slipping away. However, scores of people welcome the big 3-0 and see the change as an opportunity to discover who they truly are.
A group of people who are embracing the latter are the innovative millennials who make up the 2023 Forbes ’30 Under 30′ list for Europe. Exploring this compilation of groundbreaking young people is the team at BusinessNameGenerator.com, delving into the experts from the financial sector, eCommerce, marketing and advertising, and more.
