June 3, 2025 - At the 2025 Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Indianapolis, USA, the Global Entrepreneurship Network and Startup Genome shared a groundbreaking initiative, designed to help national governments evaluate and enhance the performance of national policy action in growing tech startup ecosystems as today’s #1 engine of job creation and economic growth.
The first installment of the APEXE Nations Ranking offers a balanced scorecard of the performance of each country’s past entrepreneurial innovation policies. On an opt-in basis, the next installment will offer a data-driven toolkit to enhance economic outcomes by benchmarking ongoing startup policies and identifying major gaps to be addressed. It highlights the top 20 national ecosystems alongside seven regional rankings.
To add your ecosystem to this global benchmarking effort and benefit from its inclusion, please get in touch with us. Furthermore, Startup Genome will be launching dedicated research over the next year to focus on key AI policy topics. If you are interested in exploring these topics with us, please get in touch with Matt Smith, GEN Vice President, at matt@genglobal.org,
