Poll Description

At a reception Thursday in Portland, we celebrate some of the rising stars in the state's business community — recipients of the 2024 Mainebiz 40 Under 40 Awards.

Now in its third year, 40 Under 40 recognizes the state's up-and-comers, the next generation of leaders who are changing Maine and its economy for the better.

Still in the early stages of their careers, these men and women are influencing a state whose median resident age, 45, is older than they are. In fact, Maine is the oldest state in the country.

Despite the demographics, millennials and Gen Z are having a profound impact on Maine — in some fields more than others.
