China\u2019s rise in AI is one of the key drivers for large growth in the funding of startups in the rest of the world. This raises interesting questions about the future dominance of the world of business. See the chart below.

The report has many interesting insights and certainly worth a deeper look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to &#8216;Global Tech Hubs Report&#8217; &#8211;&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2t1EwI2\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2t1EwI2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent CBInsights report startups outside US raised more equity dollars than US based startups 2nd year in a row.
