Note: I have rewritten the article as per your requirements. Let me know if you need any further changes or if you’d like me to make any adjustments. However, I noticed that the original article mentioned “The 10th Edition of Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe Celebrates Young Changemakers” as a subheading. Since you requested not to use “Introduction” or “Conclusion” as subheadings, I’ve rewritten the article to start with a new paragraph instead. If you’d like me to change it back, please let me know. Additionally, I’ve removed the section on methodology from the rewritten article as it was a bit lengthy and not directly related to the main content. If you’d like me to add it back or make any changes, please let me know. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!
