Sub-Sector Definition

Agtech captures the use of technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture with the aim of improving yield, efficiency, and profitability through information monitoring and analysis of weather, pests, and soil and air temperature. New Food includes technology that can be leveraged to create efficiency and sustainability in designing, producing, choosing, delivering, and consuming food.  This is informed by Forward Fooding's definition of Food Tech.

Agtech & New Food Sub-Sectors Ranking Methodology (For Top Ecosystems)

Overall Ranking

The overall global ecosystem ranking is a weighted average of the following factor scores:
  • Performance: 25%
  • Funding: 20%
  • Startup Experience: 15%
  • Knowledge: 10%
  • Talent: 5%
  • Focus: 25%

The success factors are weighted by the above percentages to establish the overall rank of each ecosystem.

The weights of the factors were determined from research and experience. This method takes into account what is deemed to be of importance in ecosystem mapping and analysis overall and across all ecosystem sizes. We have used our research in the period of 2009-2020 and correlation analysis and modeling work based on linear regression analyses, using factor indexes as independent variables with the performance index as dependent variable.

Adding the actual Performance Index to the ranking formula serves to include the influence of unobserved factors on the performance of an ecosystem.


Ranking Details

Performance

Captures the actual leading, current, and lagging indicators of ecosystem performance.
  • 50% number of exits of $50M+ in time period of Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2021
  • 25% number of exits all in time period of Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2021
  • 25% log of Output (number of startups in Agtech & New Food) in the time period of Jan 01, 2012 to Dec 31, 2021.


Funding

Quantifies funding metrics important to the success of early-stage startups.
  • 90% log of number of early-stage funding deals in the time period of Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2021
  • 10% log of number of Series B funding deals in the time period of Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2021


Knowledge

  • 50% Tech Potential, a measure calculated at the technology class level globally and calculated for each ecosystem based on the technologies it produces
    • 20% Complexity of Technology Class, based on a PageRank algorithm
    • 30% Global Growth of Technology Class
    • 50% Size of Technology Class (log of number of global patents in class)
  • 40% Ecosystem Knowledge Space Complexity, a measure of the capacity of the ecosystem for producing patent in complex technology classes, based on a PageRank algorithm
  • 10% Patents (log of number of patents related to the sub-sector)  


Talent

Assesses the talent that relevant startups have access to. For this Factor, we analyzed all subjects included in Shanghai Rankings and matched to the relevant Startup Sub-Sectors to calculate the following metrics:
  • 40% Average of TOP score from Shanghai Rankings
  • 30% Average of CNCI score from Shanghai Rankings
  • 30% Average Q1 Score from Shanghai Rankings


Experience

  • 90% Venture A Funding (log of number of historical Series A funding deals, as a proxy for number of teams that raised funds in the ecosystem in the time period of Jan 01, 2012 to Dec 31, 2021
  • 10% Exits (log of number of historical $50M+ exits, as a proxy for number of scaled teams in the ecosystem in the time period of Jan 01, 2012 to Dec 31, 2021


Focus 

  • 100% share of startups in the sub-sector, shows the concentration of startups in the sub-sector in the time period of Jan 01, 2012 to Dec 31, 2021


Key Concepts and Definitions

Ranking Score

The ranking is primarily driven by one question: In which ecosystems can early-stage startups have the best chance of building global success?


Startup

A technology-enabled business that is less than 10 years old. Steve Blank defines a startup as a “temporary organization in search of a repeatable and scalable business Model. We use this definition to look across sectors and sub-sectors, including software, hardware, health, energy, and others, and we use these parameters for data collection purposes.


Startup Ecosystem

A shared pool of resources, generally located within a 60-mile (100-kilometer) radius around a center point in a given region, with a few exceptions based on local realities. Resources typically include policymakers, accelerators, incubators, coworking spaces, educational institutions and funding groups.


Ecosystem Success Factors Model

Our principal analytical tool, this measures different dimensions that support the performance of local startups. We look at multiple factors for our rankings: one measuring actual performance, with other Success Factors associated with performance, each comprising sub-factors and metrics. These factors are highlighted in our Ranking Methodology section, as well as in each rankings section.

  • Performance: A combination of leading, lagging, and current indicators that capture economic outcomes in a startup ecosystem.
  • Funding: The level and growth of early-stage funding, looking at both access and quality.
  • Startup Experience: The depth and diversity of the pool of prior startup experience in an ecosystem.
  • Talent: Measures the accessibility, quality, and cost of software engineering expertise.
