Portal to fiscal certainty.

Welcome to the 2013 Power List--the ultimate Alaska business reference guide. In these pages you'll find the components of the Alaska economy--a long-running, multi-billion dollar enterprise with state, regional, national and global collaboration. The Power List is your portal to fiscal certainty.

When you reach out for your copy of the Power List you'll find the value-added convergence between a year's worth of lists and directories published in Alaska Business Monthly magazine and the exclusive directories found only in our annual Power List.

As you add to your intellectual capital, you may recognize many of the companies you've read about throughout the years from articles in the magazine and business news posted on our website. Some of these organizations are familiar and have been around a long time--some are new--all are providing jobs, products and services to keep Alaska going.

You will find we have followed the standard format in this 11th issue of the Power List. We begin with Alaska Business Monthly's Top 49ers, the top 49 businesses owned and operated by Alaskans, ranked by gross revenues. The rest of the book is alphabetical by sector and industry, including the 2012 Corporate 100 and Alaska Native Corporations (Regional and Village). We finish with the Who's Who of Alaska business leaders.

We request your assistance on a two new lists: Clean Energy and Manufacturing. We are set to introduce the Clean Energy Directory in the April 2013 issue of Alaska Business Monthly and would like to issue a call to those companies doing the business of clean energy in Alaska to volunteer information about their companies.
