About Startup Genome
Startup Genome is the world-leading innovation ecosystem development organization, having worked with more than 180 economic and innovation ministries and public/private agencies in over 65 countries.
We work to catalyze startup success and ecosystem growth and ensure that all cities and countries capture their fair share of the new economy. Startup Genome strategy clients grew their ecosystem values 59% faster than peers (41% vs. 25%). On average, Startup Genome clients produced $1.4 billion per year more in ecosystem value from an average starting point of $9.2 billion. Our evidence-based ecosystem research, advisory, and scaleup programs are rooted in global experience with the world’s largest AI-curated startup dataset and proprietary instruments developed from over a decade of primary research.

In response to the urgent need to develop policies tailored to accelerating the transition of startup ecosystems to AI, Startup Genome created a global policy action coalition. We are bringing policy leaders and other members from top ecosystems together to rapidly invest in understanding how to best shape AI Native policies for 2026 budgets. Are you a policy leader or ecosystem stakeholder interested in being part of this global movement shaping the future of innovation policy in the AI era?
