Despite stiff competition from the Chinese ecosystems of Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, as well as the rapidly growing Indian hubs of Mumbai, Bengaluru-Karnataka and Delhi, Silicon Valley remains on top globally as the ultimate center of tech excellence, according to Startup Genome's 2023 State of the Global Startup Ecosystem report.
That's despite the U.S. experiencing reduced market share compared to previous years, and having weathered the storm of recent huge job layoffs. "Some critics have been rooting for the crisis to take Silicon Valley down a peg or two," said JF Gauthier, founder and CEO of Startup Genome, in the report.
"But anyone vested in entrepreneurial innovation should root for a Silicon Valley that can continue to lead and strengthen the global startup revolution by investing in and partnering with great people and organizations all around the world."
The report says that, "the U.S. is still the world's leading startup region [...] Thirteen of the top 30 global ecosystems are based in the U.S." The economic impact and value of each location, how much early stage funding is apportioned to its tech startups, as well as exit value are all criteria used to rank inclusion.
