The Fortune Global 500, also known as Global 500, is an annual ranking of the top 500 corporations worldwide as measured by revenue. The list is compiled and published annually by Fortune magazine.

Until 1989, it listed only non-United States industrial corporations under the title "International 500" while the Fortune 500 contained and still contains exclusively United States corporations. In 1990, United States companies were added to compile a truly global list of top industrial corporations as ranked by sales. Since 1995, the list has had its current form, the listing also tops financial corporations and service providers by revenue.

Several inconsistencies exist in Fortune's ranking of cities with the most Fortune 500 headquarters. On June 3, 2011, the Atlanta Business Chronicle stated examples of Fortune including regional headquarters for some cities, excluding regional headquarters for other cities, and in some cases excluding headquarters that are physically located inside a city limit.

From 2000 to 2019, the United States had more Fortune 500 companies than any other country. In 2020, the U.S. was surpassed by China, where 124 companies were reported, compared to 121 U.S. companies. This is an impressive increase, as there were only 10 Fortune 500 companies in China in 2000. In 2023, the number of top world companies ranked by revenue grew by six in China, while in the U.S. there were 12 more companies than in 2022.

With a market capitalization of 3.12 trillion U.S. dollars as of May 2024, Microsoft was the world’s largest company that year. Rounding out the top five were some of the world’s most recognizable brands: Apple, NVIDIA, Google’s parent company Alphabet, and Amazon. Saudi Aramco led the ranking of the world's most profitable companies in 2023, with a pre-tax income of nearly 250 billion U.S. dollars. How are market value and market capitalization determined? Market value and market capitalization are two terms frequently used – and confused - when discussing the profitability and viability of companies. Strictly speaking, market capitalization (or market cap) is the worth of a company based on the total value of all their shares; an important metric when determining the comparative value of companies for trading opportunities. Accordingly, many stock exchanges such as the New York or London Stock Exchange release market capitalization data on their listed companies. On the other hand, market value technically refers to what a company is worth in a much broader context. It is determined by multiple factors, including profitability, corporate debt, and the market environment as a whole. In this sense it aims to estimate the overall value of a company, with share price only being one element. Market value is therefore useful for determining whether a company’s shares are over- or undervalued, and in arriving at a price if the company is to be sold. Such valuations are generally made on a case-by-case basis though, and not regularly reported. For this reason, market capitalization is often reported as market value. What are the top companies in the world? The answer to this question depends on the metric used. Although the largest company by market capitalization, Microsoft's global revenue did not manage to crack the top 20 companies. Rather, American multinational retailer Walmart was ranked as the largest company in the world by revenue. Walmart also had the highest number of employees in the world.

The virtual event industry, valued at $13.69 billion in 2025, is experiencing robust growth, projected to expand at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.60% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, the increasing adoption of digital technologies across various sectors, including education, enterprise, and organizations, has created a significant demand for efficient and cost-effective virtual event platforms. Secondly, the improved accessibility and engagement features offered by virtual events compared to traditional in-person events are attracting a wider audience. Thirdly, the cost savings associated with virtual events, including reduced travel, venue, and catering expenses, make them a financially attractive option for both organizers and attendees. Finally, the ability to reach a global audience with virtual events is expanding market reach and driving growth. The market is segmented by service type (communication, recruitment, sales & marketing, training), application (conferences, exhibitions/trade shows, summits), and end-user industry. While the precise market share of each segment isn't specified, the data suggests strong growth across all segments, driven by the ongoing digital transformation across diverse industries. Competitive analysis reveals a dynamic landscape populated by established players like Zoom, Cisco, and Cvent, alongside emerging innovative companies like 6Connex and EventX. These companies are constantly improving their platforms to enhance engagement and user experience, further propelling market growth. The continued growth trajectory of the virtual event industry is anticipated to be shaped by several factors. Technological advancements, such as improvements in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) integration within virtual events, will further enhance engagement and immersion. The ongoing evolution of hybrid event models, combining both physical and virtual components, presents a significant opportunity for growth. Furthermore, increasing focus on data analytics and personalized experiences within virtual events will further optimize engagement and returns on investment. However, challenges such as ensuring consistent internet connectivity, addressing digital accessibility for all participants, and mitigating the potential for "Zoom fatigue" remain crucial considerations for sustained growth and industry maturity. The global spread of adoption, with North America, Europe, and Asia likely representing the largest regional markets, suggests opportunities for further expansion in less developed regions.
