Across The Australian’s gloss print and digital platforms, The List has proven to be a huge success, with these bespoke issues driving new subscribers. We’re proud of The Australian’s latest contribution to the Contest of Ideas."

The List features a diverse range of ideas and innovations, supported by key advertisers such as Omega, Rolex, Viking, True North, and Travel Associates.

Editor of The Australian, Helen Trinca, said: "Our fourth annual Innovators List celebrates, explains and analyses the impact of innovation on our society – and looks forward to what we might see in the future with the explosion of generative AI and its application to so many sectors of the economy. We have selected 100 innovators doing interesting work across a range of sectors from energy to e-commerce. It doesn’t pretend to be a definitive list of the brilliant and committed Australians who get up every day, determined to turn their idea into reality. But our Top 100 Innovators List spotlights the talented people who, one way and another, are changing the way we live."
