Artificial intelligence startups led the charge, securing $45 billion in funding, followed by clean technology companies with $28 billion. Fintech and health tech sectors also saw significant increases in investment activity.
Silicon Valley continues to dominate, accounting for 35% of global startup funding, but emerging markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America are showing remarkable growth, with funding increases of 40% and 35% respectively.
