Steve Forbes, the billionaire publisher of the US-based Forbes magazine, may launch a Forbes Europe title next year, according to a Daily Telegraph story today.
Forbes believes the time is right because of a coming economic recovery and the increasing interest of Europeans in business and entrepreneurs. The new magazine will be based in London or Paris.
The article quotes Forbes as saying: “Even though everyone is focused on Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain, there is a recovery coming. And this is precisely the right time to move in. We want it [Forbes Europe] to be entrepreneurial. This is the right time for a European magazine.”
The company currently publishes Forbes in the US and Forbes Asia, which together reach a worldwide audience of more than 6m. There are also licensed editions in many countries.
