| dc.description.abstract | This research presents a comprehensive analysis and comparison of the startup ecosystems in Latvia, Ukraine, and Georgia. It identifies the key factors that foster their development and growth, and highlights the primary obstacles and challenges that confront startups in these countries. The authors used the following methods to achieve these objectives: correlation and regression analysis to examine funding trends and success factors, comparative analysis of key ecosystem parameters, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. The novelty of the study lies in its identification of the most important factors that influence startup development in the three countries, the construction of a correlation and regression model of startup financing, and the comparative analysis of startup ecosystems. Comparing the startup ecosystems of the three countries revealed both common and unique features of each country, emphasizing how differences in political, economic, and cultural conditions shape startup development. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | W artykule przedstawiono kompleksową analizę i porównanie ekosystemów start-upowych na Łotwie, w Ukrainie i Gruzji. Zidentyfikowano kluczowe czynniki sprzyjające ich rozwojowi i wzrostowi oraz wskazano główne przeszkody i wyzwania, przed którymi stoją start-upy w tych krajach. W tym celu zastosowano następujące metody: analizę korelacji i regresji w celu zbadania trendów finansowania i czynników sukcesu, analizę porównawczą kluczowych parametrów ekosystemu oraz syntezę. Nowatorski charakter badania polega na zidentyfikowaniu najważniejszych czynników wpływających na rozwój start-upów w trzech badanych krajach, skonstruowaniu modelu korelacji i regresji finansowania start-upów oraz przeprowadzeniu analizy porównawczej ekosystemów start-upowych. Porównanie ekosystemów start-upowych tych trzech krajów ujawniło zarówno wspólne, jak i specyficzne cechy każdego z nich, podkreślając, w jaki sposób różnice w warunkach politycznych, gospodarczych i kulturowych kształtują rozwój start-upów. | pl |
