Testimonials
"The Partnership with StartupBlink allows a unique opportunity to present your city, even if it’s a small one. This is the case of Kaunas. StartupBlink gave us a wonderful opportunity to consolidate different initiatives and compare them on an international level which, in return, allowed us to see where we should improve more in the future. These results wouldn’t have been possible without pro-active and timely efforts of the StartupBlink team. They are open, creative, and eager to cooperate and find suitable solutions. "

"The StartupBlink Index gives Paraguay a great opportunity to show the world the progress being made by the dynamic private sector, which is increasingly encouraged to create and promote startups that offer solutions for an increasingly demanding local market with internationalization potential.
Government agencies involved in the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and MSMEs have in this index, an important baseline to promote initiatives that complement and encourage the efforts of the emerging ecosystem of startups and support entities."
"The Global Startup Ecosystem Index has shown every year a very consistent growth of our innovation ecosystem, the Pinhão Valley, which led Curitiba to win the Smart City Awards in Barcelona, in 2023. We are proud to say that all of this innovation has become a social process, improving the life in our city. StartupBlink is an essential tool for us, a reference to be followed".
