2017 Global Entrepreneurship Index Identifies Startup Hotspots, Measures Digital Ecosystems
The 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) provides key information for policymakers and government leaders worldwide to strengthen their digital ecosystems and promote high-growth, high-impact entrepreneurship. The authors estimate that improving conditions to help entrepreneurs create new companies could add $22 trillion to the global economy.
“China and India are strengthening their entrepreneurial ecosystems and creating billion dollar startups while Malaysia, Iceland and the Baltic states are emerging as digital entrepreneurship leaders,” said Zoltan Acs, co-author of the report and university professor at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. “While institutional variables still need to be strengthened in emerging economies—where individuals are running ahead of policymakers—in developed countries individuals need to be shaken up. In other words, not enough people in developed countries—including the United States—are starting productive high-growth businesses.”
The top of the rankings were dominated by countries in the innovation-driven stage of development.
The United States topped the rankings again this year, with a GEI score of 83.4 – a slight drop from its score of 86.2 the previous year.
1 - United States (86.2)
2 - Switzerland (78.0),
3 - Canada (75.6),
4 - Sweden (75.5),
5 - Denmark (74.1),
6 - Iceland (73.5),
7 - Australia (72.5),
8 - the United Kingdom (71.3),
9 - Ireland (71.0)
10 - Netherlands (67.8).
India (25.8) enjoyed the largest jump in the rankings, moving up 29 spots from last year to land in 69th. Tunisia (40.5) had the second largest jump, from 62nd to 42nd. China (36.3) moved up 12 spots to 48th.
The GEI measures a country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by combining individual data such as opportunity recognition, startup skills and risk acceptance, with institutional measures, including urbanization, education and economic freedom. These measurements help distinguish self-employment and replicative entrepreneurship from the innovative, productive and rapidly growing entrepreneurial ventures that drive real economic growth.
Elenco completo: Global Entrepreneurship Index
Vi dico subito che troverete l'Italia al 46° posto dopo rispettivamente Puerto Rico, Tunisia, Cyprus, Colombia e Romania!
Faccio notare che paesi ad elevato stato sociale e perciò con un'elevata tassazione come Svezia e Danimarca sono nei primi posti della classifica.
