Leading countries for startups worldwide in 2024, by total score
The source states that the total score of the rankings is a sum of the quantity, quality, and business environment individual scores.
Quantity Score: Takes into account different metrics, such as number of startups, number of coworking spaces, and number of accelerators, to establish the activity level of the startup ecosystem.
Quality Score: Studies parameters that indicate qualitative results achieved by the ecosystem. These parameters include analyzing the traction of the ecosystem’s top startups, as well as reviewing “special entities” the ecosystem has produced: Unicorns, Exits, and Pantheon.
Business Score: It is a mix of business and economic indicators at the national level, discounted for cities that haven't reached a critical mass either for Quantity or Quality.
