Cover Asia's Most Influential 2022, Tatler's list of visionaries leading positive change in the region, launches on November 1, 2022.

Tatler presents 500 leaders championing positive change in Asia and beyond

In November, Tatler unveils Asia’s Most Influential 2022, its annual list of visionaries leading positive change across the region. While its inaugural edition made sure to achieve a breadth of coverage, recognising a host of titans and leaders who have shaped Asia for decades, the 2022 list narrows its selection to changemakers who boast a singular, impactful achievement in the past 24 months. Here is everything you need to know about Asia’s Most Influential 2022.

Honouring 500 visionaries from across Asia

This year’s Asia's Most Influential list gathers 500 changemakers from Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan, with each market honouring 100 people who are driving positive change within their spheres of influence—which quite often extend and overlap across interests, industries and countries. While there are many breakout heroes from past months, we also recognise those from the Tatler community who continue to build on their achievements as they grow their impact and influence today.

Highlighting positive change in vital spheres

To create the list, Tatler editors and executives examine each honouree's positive impact on society, asking how they have led innovation, powered success or cultivated beauty in 20 vital categories, including sustainability, technology, education, public service, entertainment, the arts and more. Occasionally we consult with advisors from other respected institutions to borrow their expert insight on fields that may lie outside our traditional scope.

Valuing impact as well as influence

The seeds of good intention take time to bear fruit. A plan of action established today may only see measurable its impact after a year or beyond. And so, Asia’s Most Influential 2022 refines its scope to consider the accomplishments of honourees in the past 24 months. This also ties into Tatler’s focus on impact: Together with influence or the power to introduce new ways of doing things, the list emphasises impact or the proven, long-lasting and large-scale positive effects an honouree’s action has on people’s lives.

Identifying specific and singular achievements

This year’s edition also highlights a specific achievement for each honouree—whether it is working with artificial intelligence to refine medical treatments, helping advance space exploration or leveraging the power of social media to make life better for the disadvantaged. Identifying a singular accomplishment validates an honouree’s place on the list, and ensures the timeliness and relevance of Asia’s Most Influential 2022.
