This article is for subscribers only.
The results are in. Late last year, BusinessWeek.com readers were asked to choose from among 25 finalists in our annual competition to find the best entrepreneur age 30 or under in the Asia-Pacific region. We selected the final 25 from a longer list of suggestions submitted by readers and editors and then asked readers to vote online (BusinessWeek.com, 8/21/06).
This year's top vote getter is Nguyen Minh Tri, a 25-year-old from Vietnam who has started two companies, My World and Viet Tech. He has a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Portland in Oregon and worked in Silicon Valley as a programmer for Serena Software. "Entrepreneurship is not my career, it's my passion," he says.
