Startup City Hamburg’s Post

StartupBlink issued its Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2024. As expected, Germany is a strong global player, but improvements are always possible. 🇩🇪 Some takeaways: 1. Germany ranks 6th worldwide for the impact of employees, which measures the number of jobs created by the startups in the ecosystem. 2. Germany excels in exits valued above US$ 1 billion in the last decade, ranking 6th worldwide. 3. #Frankfurt now surpasses Mannheim to take the 4th position nationally and joins the global top 150. 4. The best industry in Berlin is Energy & Environment, where it ranks 7th globally. 5. Compared to other countries' top startup ecosystems, Berlin’s position is not as central in Germany, as its total score is only 2.3 times larger than the next ranked city, Munich. This implies that the German startup landscape is more decentralized than in other countries and less dependent on a single city. We are also mentioned for our effort to build a startup ecosystem, which is what we proudly do every day. 😀 👀 Read the entire report here: https://lnkd.in/eQuNedDy 🤸♂️ Join our community - https://lnkd.in/e8n7iqhH StartHub Hessen - Hessisches Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Energie, Verkehr und Wohnen - Wirtschaftsförderung Frankfurt GmbH - SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator - Digital Hub Initiative

Good morning everybody! Over 15 years ago, Boston New Technology helped to pioneer the concept of The Startup Showcase and in a short time began to generate massive impact for the tech and business scene. I pitched my startups at the showcase, as did Jason and countless other luminaries here in New England and beyond. As Nathan Therrien once told me: (I paraphrase) "The showcase was something to look forward to. It was a staple. A can't miss kind of thing". For that reason, BNT isn't just bringing the Startup Showcase back officially, we're doing so purposefully in the following way: The Global Virtuals, on EKOS.AI These will be held monthly and exclusively on EKOS. These events are designed to connect with our international audience, featuring innovative startups from around the globe in a dynamic and interactive virtual environment. It’s a fantastic opportunity for startups to gain global exposure and for our community to experience the forefront of technological innovation. All startups who participate in Precision Pitch Practice and want to can qualify for the end-of-month showcase. The Grand Showcases: We will now be hosting 4 Yearly Grand Showcases, rotating across tech hubs in Boston and New England. Each of these prestigious events will spotlight ten outstanding startups, blending local and virtual interactions to enrich both our regional and global tech ecosystems. These showcases will blend what those familiar with the old showcases remember and miss with new, relevant, and exciting innovations. We'll be working with some amazing partners and ensuring that every Grand Showcase will be an unforgettable experience. The dates for both our Globals and Grands will be released this upcoming Friday as part of the BNT Extra Byte blog -- thanks to Mohit Ravindra Kamble, Rithiga Vijayakumar, and Harshita Nimbal.
