Lists

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.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
