“StartupBlink has been a valuable source of information with regard to the startup ecosystems around the globe and their performance, based on a set of 3 important criteria. The Greek Government co-operated closely with StartupBlink by providing reliable information for the Greek innovation ecosystem.”
“StartupBlink’s report proves we are Europe's undisputed tech powerhouse - producing billion-dollar firms and successful startups across the country and transforming cities every year. But we aren't complacent and are moving to make sure the UK remains one of the best places in the world to start, scale and attract record levels of investment in tech businesses.”
Chris Philp
Former UK Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy
