Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2023

Startup Genome’s Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) is powered by the world’s most comprehensive and quality controlled dataset on startup ecosystems. Informed by information on 3.5 million startups across 290 global ecosystems, our data and insights are the product of over a decade of independent research and policy work.

 

GSER 2023 ranks the top 30 and 10 runner-up global ecosystems, and includes a top 100 ranking of emerging ecosystems. It also takes a look at startup communities from a regional perspective, separately ranking ecosystems in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, MENA, North America, and Oceania.

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.

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.
