The second annual 50 Next list, celebrating the next-generation leaders in food and drink, will be announced by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants at a live event in Bilbao, Spain, on 24 June.
The 50 Next 'Class of 2022' will highlight the careers and achievements of 50 people under the age of 35, including the class of 2021, during a celebratory day of talks from members of 50 Next, as well as some of the top names in gastronomy, including Mauro Colagreco, Dominique Crenn and Joan Roca.
Roca, from restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, will make a keynote speech; Crenn, chef-owner of San Francisco restaurant Atelier Crenn, will discuss the future of gastronomy; and Colagreco, of Best of the Best restaurant Mirazur, will host a debate on the future of plant-based protein.
What is 50 Next?50 Next is an inclusive list, rather than a ranking, highlighting a new generation of talent that is making a difference. This year marks the second time the list has been produced, and will include a vast array of industries and professions, from scientific research and winemaking, to farming and technology.
The list will be divided into seven categories: Gamechanging Producers; Tech Disruptors; Empowering Educators; Entrepreneurial Creatives; Science Innovators; Hospitality Pioneers and Trailblazing Activists.
