The 2025 Forbes Global 2000

For the 23rd annual Global 2000 list, the editorial team broadened the scope by introducing eight new country-specific rankings. To lead the package visually, we commissioned a custom illustration from South Korean artist Jisu Choi, whose bold, modern style anchors the project and underscores the list’s international reach.

Each of the new regional lists features striking full-bleed photography of major cities—from Toronto to Tokyo—bringing a sense of scale and power to the expanded coverage. The creative direction ensured that each list felt distinct while maintaining a cohesive visual identity.
