The USA takes the crown with the most financial support for new businesses and entrepreneurs, with an index score of 15 out of 15. This means that the US is the best country for providing financial resources‚ such as equity, credit, subsidies and grants, to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

When it comes to entrepreneurial education, Qatar leads the way with a score of 10 out of 10.
