Start-up Index
Which cities support start-up growth?
Our index provides insights into factors that foster or hinder the growth of start-up businesses in specific cities, across the following themes:
- Market opportunities: assessing demand drivers, the presence of start-ups and high growth businesses, as well as success rates within a given city
- Talent availability: skilled labour is critical to business growth. This analyses the movement of people and the next generation of skilled workers
- Infrastructure & ecosystem: the physical and digital infrastructure that supports start-up growth, covering connectivity, technology, co-working and office opportunities.
Analysing these essential components can help start-up businesses, investors and policymakers better understand and improve the conditions for innovation and growth.
