Silicon Valley is just one of a number of key US startup ecosystems fueling startups, all of which drive investment and job creation: check where new opportunities are in the US right now.
The classic call and response when the tech sector is mentioned is to think, “Silicon Valley.”
Despite stiff competition from the Chinese ecosystems of Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, as well as the rapidly growing Indian hubs of Mumbai, Bengaluru-Karnataka and Delhi, it remains on top, according to Startup Genome’s 2023 State of the Global Startup Ecosystem report.
That’s regardless of having a reduced market share compared to previous years, and having weathered the storm of recent huge job layoffs. “Some critics have been rooting for the crisis to take Silicon Valley down a peg or two,” said JF Gauthier, founder and CEO of Startup Genome, in the report.
“But anyone vested in entrepreneurial innovation should root for a Silicon Valley that can continue to lead and strengthen the global startup revolution by investing in and partnering with great people and organizations all around the world.”
Silicon Valley is just one of a number of key US startup ecosystems that fuel startups, all of which drive investment and job creation. The report has found that “the U.S. is still the world’s leading startup region […] Thirteen of the top 30 global ecosystems are based in the U.S.”
When it comes to the top ten U.S. locations, which are the strongest in terms of their startup ecosystem, the report looked at the economic impact and value of each, how much early stage funding was apportioned to its tech startups, as well as exit value.
Many more are bubbling under, such as Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit and Orlando.
With North America in the lead as the globe’s leading startup region –– despite recent challenges –– it is good news that job creation is in healthy condition and many tech roles are growing.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the employment rate for data scientists will grow by 36% by 2031, with software roles set to grow by 25% by 2031. Cybersecurity will see demand increase by nearly 35% to 2031, or an additional 56,500 positions.
CompTIA’s most recent State of the Tech Workforce report predicts 3% growth in the size of the US tech workforce this year too, with roles across data science and data analysis, cybersecurity analysts and engineers, web designers and UI/UX professionals, software developers and engineers, and software QA and testers all set to see the biggest growth.
