The Startups of The Year 2024 showcases exceptional companies across 100 industries. Nominations are based on regional and industrial excellence, not just location. This series will detail our key industries and demonstrate how HackerNoon can help you explore them further.

Our society needs every industry to continue functioning, but there is one industry that deserves a special shoutout: Programming.


Technology and the internet have become central to daily life, which, in turn, has transformed programmers into essential members of not just the workforce, but of all of society. They’re the ones making sure everything runs smoothly. They’re the architects of the digital age, ensuring everything from our bank apps to traffic lights continues working.

Startups of The Year 2024 & Programming

Just as programmers are the driving force of making sure our society runs smoothly, programming startups are the driving force behind innovation. Without their creativity, our tech-dependent society would lag behind modern demands. They have pushed boundaries in the past and continue to do so to create new tech and software to benefit us all.


However, the term programming is very broad and covers a wide range of disciplines and specializations. Within programming, there are sub-industries like web development, mobile app creation, cybersecurity, and data science. Here are a couple more sub-industries to check out:
