Together with Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx), StartupBlink has launched the Coronavirus Innovation Report 2021!

After launching the Coronavirus Innovation Map and first edition of the COVID-19 report in 2020, the latest version of the report includes the rankings of 100 cities and 40 countries, how their rankings compare to the Global Startup Ecosystem Rankings, and takes a deeper look into the sub-categories (such as innovations in Prevention, Treatment and Diagnostics) in each location.

If you have any questions please let us know. You can also interview our CEO, Eli David available by email at feedback@startupblink.com

Some interesting general insights are as follows:

Some cities badly hit by the pandemic, including Milan, Moscow, New York, Barcelona, and several cities in Belgium have been surprisingly over-performing in the ranking charts.

We also see strong positions held by locations that are relatively unscathed by the pandemic, like Taipei and Singapore.

The United States leads global coronavirus innovation efforts, while Israel and Canada hold leading positions at 2nd and 3rd globally. In the top 10 ranked countries, Belgium, Switzerland, and the UK held their positions at 4th, 5th, and 6th respectively.
