We provide the information in our lists and directories for free as a service to our readers; we also provide listings to the companies therein free of charge as a service to the business community. Our goal at Alaska Business is inform and connect business-minded organizations and individuals in whatever way we can.
The lists below are updated in the month they are published in the print edition; those which appear annually in the Power List are updated when the Power List is published.
In addition to our industry directories, which are open to any applicable business, we have four lists with specific criteria and limited entry. The Corporate 100 are companies ranked by their number of Alaska Employees; the Best of Alaska Business list comprises businesses that our readers have voted as their favorites; the Legal Elite represent the best lawyers in Alaska, as nominated by their peers; and The Top 49ers are Alaska’s largest home-grown companies ranked by gross revenue.
See purchasing options for the Power List here.

We’re honored again this year to celebrate our partnership with Junior Achievement of Alaska, a nonprofit that educates local youth about enterprise, business, money, and financial literacy. In the special section, three Junior Achievement of Alaska students weigh in on their experience with the exceptional volunteers and teachers involved with the program.
And in Industry Support, we explore the range of varied services that industry in Alaska requires, from mancamps to spill response to off-grid energy solutions.
Outside the special sections, make sure to check out the 2026 Economic forecast, where Alaska leaders share their insights on what may lie ahead in the coming year. Enjoy!
