Global Startup Ecosystem Index (cities), 2025

Organizations are placed by their recorded headquarters (Google place, ROR or company record). Only organizations with a Superscout profile are counted, so totals undercount the full ecosystem.

The population value has no measurement date in the canonical record and should be treated as approximate context.

Superscout is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the organizations documented here.
