As we enter 2026, Fortune is gearing up to release our fourth edition of the Fortune 500 Europe list, celebrating the region’s most successful companies through the framework of one of business’s best-known accolades. To truly understand these companies, we are embarking on a program of webinar masterclasses, executive interviews and strategy deep-dives, leading up to an exclusive London event for CEOs in September. For leaders of Fortune 500 Europe brands—and those who aspire to be them—this will be a one-stop shop for celebrating successes, learning from challenges and benchmarking strategies against those of their peers.
Last year, the Fortune 500 list celebrated its 71st anniversary. While the Europe-specific list is a much younger member of the family, it nevertheless celebrates the same values of resilience, adaptability and business success.
