Global Map of Startup Ecosystems - StartupBlink
Have you ever wondered how the strength of your local startup ecosystem compares to others? What about the vital factors that help empower a growing ecosystem? StartupBlink’s comprehensive, global startup ecosystem map and research center provides users with all the data they need to draw comparisons, view rankings, and make better informed business decisions. Our startup ecosystem rankings feature the strongest startup hubs in the world, while also giving smaller cities and countries the chance to be highlighted.
StartupBlink’s map is carefully curated and updated to assist startup founders, governments and investors in their quest to better understand what makes a healthy startup ecosystem. We also help corporates with data that supports their open innovation activities when connecting and supplying resources to relevant startups.
Make sure to check out our colored hotspots on the interactive display below. Our scale progresses from blue, marking the locations with the smallest number of startups, to purple, where you can find the greatest number of startups.
What makes the StartupBlink platform so unique and impactful is the treasure trove of data available on hundreds of locations across the globe. We don’t only map startups, but also focus on all other relevant startup ecosystem players including coworking spaces, accelerators, investors, tech reporters and much more.
Such a wide spread of data enables our team to take part in special research projects geared towards mapping developing ecosystems and analyzing startup-related policy initiatives.
Our mission is based on a desire to share our data with companies and governments that strive to strengthen their local startup ecosystems. Rather than lavishing the same degree of attention on leading hubs as other published rankings, we want to share information on up and coming cities, or countries working hard to support their entrepreneurs. Browse our leaderboards tables below the map for more information about your hometown or country and download our complete Startup Ecosystems Ranking Report!
