Calgary’s Startup Ecosystem Climbs Higher in Global Rankings, Placing among Top 60 Emerging Ecosystems

June 15, 2023 by Newsdesk Leave a Comment

Calgary’s startup ecosystem has moved up a bracket in Startup Genome’s Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems list and now places among the top 60 ecosystems globally. 

Released during the Next Web Conference in Amsterdam, Startup Genome’s Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) 2023 evaluates the performance and growth of innovation ecosystems around the world.

Just five years ago, Calgary wasn’t on the map as a centre of tech and innovation and didn’t place on the list. Fast forward to 2023 and Calgary is now recognized as a city with talent, capital and companies driving the continued momentum of its startup community.  

“The Calgary community is innovative, passionate and purpose driven. Our rise in Startup Genome’s global ranking is proof that Calgary’s emerging tech and innovation ecosystem is internationally revered as one of bright minds and big ideas solving global challenges,” said Brad Parry, President and CEO, Calgary Economic Development and CEO, Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund. 

In addition to its global rank, Calgary’s startup ecosystem received recognition in North America as a Top 10 Ecosystem for Performance, Top 30 Ecosystem in Funding and Top 40 Emerging Ecosystem in Talent & Experience. 

“This report validates much of what we have experienced since opening the Platform Innovation Centre in 2022. Calgary has all of the building blocks for a thriving innovation ecosystem that can rival peer cities like Manila, Bahrain, and Buenos Aires,” said Terry Rock, CEO, Platform Calgary. 

“Despite headwinds impacting much of the tech sector globally, Calgary continued to see growth in the last year. The resilience in our ecosystem sets Calgary up well to continue making important progress in the years ahead.”
