It is based on extensive research and analysis of data from 5.5 million startups across 350+ global ecosystems, and over a decade of independent research and policy advice to more than 200 economic and innovation ministries and public/private agencies in over 65 countries. With the GSER 2026, we aim to provide valuable perspective on the global startup landscape and actionable recommendations for entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders looking to drive innovation and economic growth — even in these challenging times.
