Unicorn enterprise related to metauniverse
According to the definition of the list, unicorn enterprises are non listed companies with a value of more than US $1 billion established after 2000. In 2017, Hurun Research Institute began to track and record chinese Unicorn enterprises and global Unicorn enterprises in 2019. This year is the third time that Hurun Research Institute released the global Unicorn list.
This year’s list shows that there are 1058 Unicorn enterprises in the world, distributed in 42 countries and 221 cities. On average, these companies were established eight years ago, in 2013. Of the 1058 enterprises, 81% sold software and services, and only 19% sold physical products. 53% are directly oriented to consumers and 47% are B2B enterprises. The industries most affected by Unicorn enterprises are business management, financial services and retail. The total value of Unicorn enterprises on the list is 23.7 trillion yuan.
Hu Run, chairman and chief research officer of Baifu, said that the speed of value creation is quite amazing. Hurun Unicorn reached a valuation of $1 billion in an average of eight years. Which industries have the greatest potential? Hurun believes that half of the unicorns in the world are companies in the fields of financial technology, software services, e-commerce, artificial intelligence and health technology. Network security and blockchain have entered the top ten industries this year. “These fields are the areas where the world’s smartest capital is investing.” In addition, 2021 is the first year of the meta universe, but there are no unicorns related to the meta universe. Hurun believes that “we can expect this technology to change the rules of the game to produce many unicorns in the future”.
for unicorn enterprises
entrepreneurial ecology is very important
The list data show that among all Unicorn enterprises, the United States ranks first with 487, an increase of 254 over last year; China ranked second with 301, an increase of 74 over last year. The top ten accounted for 25% of the total value of global Unicorn enterprises, including 4 from the United States and 3 from China. Compared with last year, 673 Unicorn companies were newly listed this year, including 347 in the United States, followed by 146 in China. Among the unicorn enterprises newly listed in China, 16 are from Hurun China gazelle enterprises list last year, such as Wenyuan Zhixing, Hesai technology, Nanfang Black Sesame Group Co.Ltd(000716) intelligence, etc; 11 enterprises from Hurun China cheetah list last year, such as patpat, Pingkai star, Shihui group, etc.
Hurun said that 2021 is a world-class entrepreneurship year, and the number of global unicorns is almost twice that of last year. For unicorn enterprises, entrepreneurial ecology is very important. “It takes years to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem, but once it is established and run, it will provide returns in the coming decades.” Hurun pointed out that in China, especially Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen and the recently launched Beijing stock exchange, they also provide very attractive market conditions for start-ups. How can we form a good entrepreneurial ecology full of entrepreneurial spirit? The university should form a virtuous circle of cooperation with enterprises. Enterprises not only invest funds to help the University further become a world-class university, but also cultivate and transport talents for enterprises.
