Abstract

In order to identify the trends and insights of 'startups' in the global era, we conducted an in-depth trend analysis of the global startup ecosystem using Google Trends, a big data analysis platform. For the validity of the analysis, we verified the correlation between the keywords 'startup' and 'global' through BIGKinds. We also conducted a network analysis based on the data extracted using Google Trends to determine the frequency of searches for the keyword or term 'startup'. The results showed a strong positive linear relationship between the keywords, indicating a statistically significant correlation (correlation coefficient: +0.8906). When exploring global startup trends using Google Trends, we found a terribly similar linear pattern of increasing and decreasing interest in each country over time, as shown in Figure 4. In particular, startup interest was low in the range of 35 to 76 from mid-2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there was a noticeable upward trend in startup interest after March 2022. In addition, we found that the interest in startups in each country except South Korea is very similar, and the related topics are startup company, technology, investment, funding, and keyword search terms such as best startup, tech, business, invest, health, and fintech are highly correlated.

글로벌시대의 환경속에서 '스타트업'의 트렌드와 인사이트를 파악하기 위해 빅데이터 분석 플랫폼인 Google Trends를 활용하여 최근 글로벌 스타트업 생태계를 심층 트렌드 분석을 실시하였다. 분석의 타당성을 위해 BIGKinds를 통해 핵심 키워드 '스타트업'과 '글로벌'의 상관관계를 검증하였다. 또한 '스타트업' 키워드나 용어의 검색 빈도를 파악하기 위해 Google Trends를 이용하여 추출한 데이터를 기반으로 네트워크 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 키워드 사이에 강한 양적 선형관계를 보여주어 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 나타냈다(상관계수: +0.8906). Google Trends를 사용한 글로벌 스타트업 트렌드를 탐색한 결과 '그림4'와 같이 각 국가들의 시기별 관심도가 증가하거나 감소하는 매우 비슷한 선형적 형태를 나타났다. 특히 스타트업 관심도가 2020년 중반부터 코로나-19 팬데믹으로 인해 35~76 범위내에서 낮게 나타났지만, 2022년 3월 이후 스타트업 관심도가 눈에 띄게 상승하는 트렌드를 보였다. 또한, 한국을 제외한 각 국가별 Startups 관심도는 아주 비슷한 추세이고, 관련 주제는 startup company, technology, investment, funding, 키워드 검색어는 best startup, tech, business, invest, health, fintech 등이 공통적으로 나타나 매우 높은 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다.
