Paris, France — December 15, 2025 — THE BEST, the highest distinction dedicated to curating excellence across industries, today announced a major expansion of its platform to include more than 50 industry categories. This milestone marks a significant evolution of THE BEST's mission: to identify, recognize, and showcase the most outstanding professionals, brands, and organizations shaping the world today.
Originally focused on iconic sectors such as Hotels & Hospitality, Fine Dining, Fashion, Cinema, and Luxury, THE BEST now opens its distinction to fast-growing and transformative industries, including Artificial Intelligence, Technology, Digital Platforms, Finance, Education, Healthcare, Gaming & Esports, and Sustainability, among many others.
"Excellence is no longer confined to traditional luxury or legacy industries. Innovation, impact, and leadership are emerging everywhere — particularly in sectors like AI that are redefining how we live, work, and create value. With this expansion, THE BEST reflects the world as it is becoming, not just as it was."
A Curated Standard of Excellence

- Outstanding quality and performance
- Proven leadership and innovation
- Cultural, economic, or societal impact
- Consistency over time
By expanding to 50+ categories, THE BEST creates a unified global reference for excellence — across both established and emerging industries.
Welcoming a New Generation of Leaders
