Chicago – Negocios Now has officially announced the opening of nominations for the 2025 Class of Latinos 40 Under 40™, honoring young Latino talent in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, including Silicon Valley.
Launched in Chicago in 2015, this program recognizes emerging Latino leaders across various fields, including corporations, businesses, nonprofits, government, technology, education, sciences, sports, arts, and more.
