The 14th edition of the Global Startup Ecosystem Report launches this month at VivaTech Paris. This year, we are also adding a virtual launch to our calendar for our global audience.

If you will be in Paris, we hope to see you on the Purple Stage on June 17 at 10 AM. For our virtual sessions, register directly using the links in this note.

Why this year’s rankings matter

AI-Native startups — those that have AI at the core of their product, market, or business model and which would not exist without AI — are on track to capture the majority of value creation in the global startup economy by 2030. That structural shift is already reshaping how ecosystems compete and how capital flows into them.

AI-Native Will Soon Account for Most of Global Ecosystem Value

This year's GSER tracks how the shift is showing up in the rankings. Some ecosystems are gaining ground; others are losing it.

What we cover in the session

JF Gauthier, our co-founder and CEO, will walk through this year's data and what it means for ecosystem leaders setting next year's priorities. The sessions cover:

  • The Top 40 global and Top 100 emerging rankings, including this year's biggest climbers and the established names losing ground

  • What 2025 totals and the early 2026 numbers show about startup funding across stages and regions

  • Which sectors are gaining ground and which are losing it, including the divergence within AI-Native between its different sub-segments

Bring your questions - we’ll have time to address these live.
