Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of current initiatives in developing the startup ecosystem in Algeria, and their impact on startups advancement. Based on the Global Startup Ecosystem Index (GSEI), which ranks startup ecosystems in 1,000 cities and 100 countries, the study has analyzed Algeria’s position during the period of (2017-2024). The study found that Algeria's ranking in this index has shown a significant progress, reflecting a continuous development in the startup ecosystem. However, it has not yet reached the desired level compared to neighboring North African countries. This calls for accelerating the development of the startup ecosystem by improving access to funding, enhancing digital infrastructure, simplifying administrative procedures, as well as benefiting from successful regional and international experiences.
