First published in 2021, the DII Global provides the most well-rounded and up-to-date look at entrepreneurial environments across the globe.  “The incoming Trump administration has signaled an eagerness and commitment to prioritize cryptocurrency friendly policies,” said BizWorld Founder Tim Draper. “An anticipated executive order could completely transform the cryptocurrency landscape in the United States, which would in turn reshape the global cryptocurrency economy. Here at BizWorld, we applaud this movement in the right direction. We’ll closely monitor the impacts of any new policies and analyze their potential impacts on the global economy and markets.”  Top Takeaways from the DII Global January 2025 Update “India rose across all three DII Global scenarios this month,” said BizWorld Economic Advisor Dr. Wallace Walrod. “We could very well see further improvements this year – India is the world’s fifth largest economy by nominal GDP and both the UN and Goldman Sachs predict solid growth in 2025. India could rise much higher this year if its leaders embrace cryptocurrency, pro-growth small business-friendly policies, and economic freedom.” The DII Global will release monthly updates to continually reflect the latest developments in global innovation and entrepreneurship, available here.
