Meet the visionaries shaping Hong Kong’s next chapter on Gen.T’s 10th anniversary

The Tatler Gen.T platform—originally launched in 2016 as “Generation Tomorrow”—is celebrating its landmark tenth anniversary. From its roots in Hong Kong, Gen.T has grown to a pan-Asia community of 3,500 young leaders spanning the arts, sustainability, healthcare, and more, embodying what it means to reshape the future.

To mark this milestone, the 2026 edition of the Tatler Gen.T Leaders of Tomorrow is centred on a powerful campaign: pairing ten legendary leaders who have scaled global heights since first appearing on the Gen.T list, with ten new leaders making their Gen.T debuts. This far-reaching initiative spans ten major Asian markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, with Kazakhstan joining the community for the first time.

Over the course of seven months, we selected a total of ten founders, athletes, creators, and young leaders in Hong Kong who made our final cut as a Gen.T Leader of Tomorrow. Here are our pairs of honourees, past and present, who have defined Gen.T over the years—and, with time, will redefine it in the years to come.

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the 1971 film Diamonds Are Forever, The Macallan has released a limited-edition single malt inspired by the intrigue that defines James Bond. Fresh from unveiling The Macallan Diamonds Are Forever 55th Anniversary Release, the distillery celebrates its enduring connection to cinema, a relationship that spans more than five decades.

For brand ambassador Stephane Levan, this is no ordinary collaboration. The Macallan has appeared in nearly 300 films and television shows, as an intentional device by filmmakers to signal character, taste and authenticity. “Long before luxury brands strategised their way onto screen, The Macallan was already there—quietly and credibly,” he explains.

Following Sandy Lam’s talk-of-the-town residency at the Kai Tak Stadium, fellow Canto-pop icon Sammi Cheng is set to headline the 50,000-seat venue. Beginning July 10, Cheng will launch a three-night concert series, making her the third homegrown female artist to stage a solo show at the stadium, following Gloria Tang (better known as G.E.M.), who recently sold out five evenings.

With a career spanning more than three decades and over 25 million records sold globally, Cheng has extended her influence across the Asia-Pacific and beyond. A notable multi-hyphenate, she also holds a significant place in Hong Kong cinema, having earned a record-breaking three simultaneous Best Actress nominations at the 2002 Hong Kong Film Awards, including one for her role in the iconic romantic comedy Love on a Diet.
