 Amidst constant change and periodic ups and downs in the economic and geo-political situation worldwide, one thing remains constant: the substantial global influence and dominance of the US startup ecosystem. When it comes to its startup environment, the US is still the land of opportunity, representing the world’s most vibrant source of free and disruptive technological creativity. The US version of the internet is global and open, in contrast to more closed systems forming in other parts of the world. The nation's startup ecosystems are leveraged by foreign entrepreneurs who know that the US is the best place to scale and grow a global company. A substantial advantage for attracting foreign entrepreneurs and scaling globally is that English is a globally dominant language. ==read-more==
 The US version of free-market capitalism focuses on profit and high risk tolerance, and provides startups with opportunities, funding, and support. This creates an ecosystem that is mainly based on the private sector without too much interference from the public sector. Such a market driven approach to startup development has resulted in the creation of the most successful startups in the world. And yet, faced with other countries becoming tech superpowers, the public sector is taking steps to maintain the nation's unique position as the global tech leader. First, new laws are being legislated to support strategic industries. An example is the CHIPS Act of 2022 that will strengthen semiconductor manufacturing. Second, the US also recognizes the importance of attracting talent and is looking at introducing a new Visa Program for Immigrant Entrepreneurs as well as a Green Card Exemption For Ph.D.'s. 
 An example of how the US has supported a high-risk mindset can be found in the country’s flexible bankruptcy laws, which allow entrepreneurs to fail and start over easily. Compared to the financial and reputational consequences such failures have in many other countries, we can see why entrepreneurs are more likely to test new ideas in the US. 

 

 The top US startup ecosystems offer new companies everything they need: access to funding through a large network of VCs, angel investors, and mentorship in high quality accelerators. In addition, support organizations such as the [MKEtech,](https://www.mketech.org/) [Innovate Charlotte](https://inclt.org/) and [SelectUSA](https://www.trade.gov/selectusa-home]) connect entrepreneurs with the resources and information they require on the path to success. On top of this, MIT, Stanford and other leading universities provide cutting-edge science research and supply the ecosystem with top talent. These universities also act as an additional magnet for ambitious local and foreign students, who can then move on to build world-leading companies. 

 Historically, the US has not only been a leader in the output of its startup ecosystem, but is also leading the charts in terms of our business startup friendliness environment. This combination of results on the ground together with the best policies is a true ecosystem flywheel. 

 As long as the US maintains its mindset of entrepreneurship and risk taking, its ecosystems will continue to thrive and attract ambitious entrepreneurs from around the world.
