In partnership with Global Entrepreneurship Network, ABStartups, and Startup20, Startup Genome’s inaugural APEXE Nations Report will compare 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. It will highlight the conditions needed for entrepreneurs to flourish, drawing the attention of national policymakers toward actions that can help startups thrive.

The APEXE Nations Report will examine what contributes to a successful startup ecosystem, including fostering talent, access to financial capital, and support infrastructure. The report will include the G20’s 19 countries and the EU: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the U.K., and the U.S. This data-based report will become a core asset supporting future G20 Presidencies and G20 Leaders Summits in their efforts to engineer and harmonize startup ecosystems globally.
