GEN Exchange: Findings from the 2024 Global Startup Ecosystem Report

Join policymakers, researchers and entrepreneurship ecosystem leaders from around the world to learn about the findings of GSER 2024 - the Global Startup Ecosystem Report. 

The Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER), published by GEN and Startup Genome, is powered by the world's most comprehensive and quality-controlled dataset on startup ecosystems. Informed by data on 4.5 million startups across 300 ecosystems, the data and insights are the product of over a decade of independent research and policy work. 

The GSER 2024 ranks the top 40 global ecosystems and includes a ranking of emerging ecosystems. The report, driven by a consortium of representatives from 40+ countries, looks at the current state of startup activity and related investment. It features rankings that indicate which global ecosystems are driving innovation. 

Startup communities are also examined from an expanded regional ranking in 2024, separately ranking ecosystems in Asia, Europe, Latin America, MENA, North America, Oceania and sub-Saharan Africa.
