Utilising the data from these sources, combined with our analysis, we chose countries which are the best candidates for this portfolio.Īll companies included in the portfolio must have been traded publicly for less than five years, in order to capture the high potential growth of a company in its initial stages as well as to maintain the most updated companies as they begin their journey on the public market. These resources helped us to determine whether the investment climate in a country, its competitive environment, government efficiency, infrastructure and more, would be factors that would help to grow successful start-ups. We looked to three resources to find countries fitting this winning mould: Business Enabling Environment, Start-up Friendliness, and IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. In short, we were looking for countries providing that atmosphere where companies could make it big. When putting together the StartUpNations Smart Portfolio, we looked for countries with relatively small populations of less than 20 million people that had an environment which facilitates innovation in which businesses can prosper. We create these Smart Portfolios with a long-term strategy mindset, however, due to the nature of this specific Smart Portfolio, companies rotate in and out of the portfolio slightly more frequently. Like our other eToro Smart Portfolios, this is a thematic portfolio, which exposes you to a group of assets in specific areas, but is simultaneously diversified so that your investment does not hang on the fortunes of one or two companies. Companies from each of these countries - and more - are represented in our StartUpNations Smart Portfolio. Not all countries are alike, but, there is something special in each of these small countries which are providing a hub for successful start-ups. Nonetheless, with its many advantages, such as its prime location, top quality labour force, strong economy, excellent infrastructure and business-friendly legislation, Switzerland is a magnet for new companies. Unlike Romania, it is actually expensive to do business in Switzerland. Situated in Central Europe, Switzerland provides a great opportunity for start-ups. Israel’s well-educated labour force is a large pool for many tech start-ups looking to recruit graduates who have advanced computer programming and cyber security skills at a young age. This tiny country situated on the Mediterranean coast has always dealt with various challenges, creating a mindset of constantly searching for solutions, and developing critical life skills at a relatively young age. Although it is one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe, because of its small market, Romanian start-ups mainly focus on catering their products to global markets in order to be successful.Īnother country operating in a small market with a global outlook is Israel. Living costs are low, businesses can be built inexpensively, and there is a well-educated quality labour force.
What is really exciting about investing in start-ups from smaller nations is that their success stories are as much about the countries facilitating the right environment for growth.įor example, in Romania, there are a number of factors that make it an attractive place to invest. The specific focus of start-up companies in start-up nations lies in the potential for capitalising on these companies’ significant growth in their early years. This special start-up culture among small countries, where innovation flows, where new tech companies are sprouting all the time, where the sk y’s the limit - is something we aim to capture in our new StartUpNations Smart Portfolio.

Twenty years ago, The Irish Times published an article illustrating that the start-up culture in Ireland among software companies was actually homegrown, and not the result of former employees of multinational companies setting up these companies.
