Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2024

Launched at London Tech Week! Ranking the top global ecosystems and emerging ecosystems, the GSER 2024 provides expert insights into the startup landscape. Startup communities are also examined from a regional perspective, separately ranking ecosystems in Asia, Europe, Latin America, MENA, North America, Oceania, and sub-Saharan Africa.

The GSER 2024 is powered by the world’s most comprehensive and quality controlled dataset on startup ecosystems. Informed by information on 4.5 million companies across 300+ global ecosystems, our data and insights are the product of over a decade of independent research and policy work.


The GSER 2024 Chinese Edition is presented in partnership with Great Wall Enterprise Institute.

Introducing the APEXE Nations Report - G20 Pilot

In partnership with Global Entrepreneurship Network, ABStartups, and Startup20, Startup Genome’s inaugural APEXE Nations Report - G20 Pilot compares the individual G20 countries in terms of their startup performance and supporting conditions, establishing a standardized methodology for measuring startup economies at a national scale.

The Scaleup Report

How can founders maximize their chances of scaling their startup to a $50 million valuation and beyond? How can policymakers better bolster the startups in their ecosystem to increase the likelihood that they reach unicorn status? 

In this report, we are proud to review our startup and ecosystem Success Factor research and apply it in a new way, in a global longitudinal research study that examines factors that differentiate startups that scaled to $50 million and higher valuations from startups that didn’t.


World-Leading Startup Ecosystem Development

While founders should lead the way, governments are feeders of ecosystem success. We work closely with innovation policy leaders everywhere, producing key insights and implementing best-in-class policies and programs.

Make better decisions and investments to help your startups to grow, scale, and give back in jobs and GDP. Join our global knowledge network and put your city on the map.

London’s tech sector is going from strength-to-strength and I’m proud we’re the tech and innovation capital of Europe. I hope this sends a clear message to aspiring tech entrepreneurs that the capital is a fantastic place to start a business.
