新興・未来のユニコーン企業（2022年上半期更新版）

2021年は、これまでで最も多くのスタートアップが10億米ドル規模になる超大型の年でした。2021年のユニコーン企業は合計523社で、2020年の100社に比べて5倍に増加し、ユニコーン企業の地位を維持しました。2021年のユニコーン企業ブームは、COVID-19によって関連性が高まった分野（EdTech、Eコマースなど）の新興企業による技術の急速な導入と、革新的な提供サービスによって煽られた資金熱に起因すると考えられます。2022年上半期に誕生したユニコーン企業は合計212社で、2021年上半期と比較して15％ほど減少しています。タスクの自動化、金融機関の不正検知・防止支援、新世代の医療・バイオテクノロジーソリューションの提供など、新興企業は人工知能（AI）や機械学習の大きな可能性を活用し、あらゆる分野でビジネスチャンスを掴もうとしています。分野を超えた最先端の専門知識を持つ革新的な新興企業の数々が、明日のユニコーン企業になると予測されています。

当レポートは新興・未来のユニコーン企業について調査し、スタートアップスコアカードと機械学習モデルを組み合わせた将来のユニコーン企業の予測など、詳細な情報を掲載しています。
