After a week of hints, reveals and the occasional tease, advertiser.com.au presents the 21 names we believe will drive South Australia forward over the next 12 months.

COVID-19 has changed so much about our lives over the last year.

Many have felt the hammer blow of losing a job or a business. All South Australians have endured unimagined restrictions to our freedom of movement and how we live our lives.

Yet, South Australia has handled this global pandemic with expertise, discipline and a determined will to beat the virus. Now, the next stage is making sure our state thrives in the post-pandemic world. The 21 South Australians chosen will be at the forefront of driving the ideas that will guide our state.

These are substantial figures in the fields of business, sport, politics, the arts, agriculture, science, manufacturing who have been chosen by Sunday Mail editor Jessica Leo-Kelton, chief reporter Paul Starick and SA Weekend writer Michael McGuire. They are South Australia’s agenda setters for 2021.
