Brazil Holds Its Spot Among the World’s Top 30 Startup Ecosystems
For the second consecutive year, Brazil ranks 27th in StartupBlink’s annual Global Startup Ecosystem Index — maintaining its position among the top 30 ecosystems worldwide.

While Brazil’s growth remains slightly below the average pace of other countries in the Top 30, there are consistent signs of progress:
An increase from 25 to 28 Brazilian cities ranked in the global Top 1,000
Over 60% of those cities improved their positions in the past year
A consolidated leadership in South America, with 5 of the region’s Top 10 cities
Ecosystem growth of over 21% during the period analyzed
Brazil stands out as the leading innovation hub in Latin America, with an increasingly diverse network of cities fostering technology, entrepreneurship, and the development of new businesses.
This position reflects a maturing ecosystem — one with the potential to accelerate further through effective public policy, expanded access to venture capital, and stronger connections between entrepreneurs, investors, and large corporations.
