This year marks a major shift in the global startup economy — the recovery has arrived, but AI is determining who benefits from it. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a horizontal tech sub-sector, but the central force reshaping where capital flows, where talent concentrates, and where startup value is created.

This edition delivers compelling new insights and deep knowledge into global startup trends and ranks the Top 40 global startup ecosystems and Top 100 emerging ecosystems, along with regional rankings – offering a data-driven roadmap for policymakers, ecosystem leaders, and founders.
