Steve Chao
China
Age: 33
Company: Qdero
Chao founded Qdero late last year because he saw the potential of augmented reality technology going mainstream. He focuses on mobile technologies, looking at cross-platform compatibilities. Following the success of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone operating system, Qdero decided to concentrate on user experience and has partnered with a popular domestic mobile-phone brand to create a range of applications tailored for the Chinese market. Qdero is only 10 months old but already has 14 employees, and Chao expects to see strong revenues starting next year. He now is working on servicing the needs of visitors to the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
