Colocation analysis of Services that Startups Provide

Abstract

Promoting the birth and development of startups is considered an essential strategy to revitalize the Japanese economy. The spatial concentration of startups is a core element of the "startup ecosystem," supporting this purpose. Various studies discuss how the specialization and diversity of business/service categories within these startup concentrations influence their success. This study examines the colocation of startups with various service categories, utilizing a modified colocation quotient (CLQ). This approach allows us to grasp the specialization and diversity properties of startup concentrations from a microscale perspective.
