Top Cities In The World For Entrepreneurs

A recent study has looked into which cities around the world are best suited for entrepreneurs across three different industries; the top three types of businesses most commonly launched by expats. The first one is the restaurant industry, the second being a tech startup and the last one an import/export company.

The ranks were determined via a certain set of criteria. For restaurants, they looked for hospitality ecosystem, human capital and real estate cost. For tech startups, they looked at the tech ecosystem, human capital, venture capital, and the main industry for growth. For the imports/exports industry, the focus was more on the logistics ecosystem, logistics cost and the access to markets.

Lets look at the top three cities from each industry.

Restaurant Industry
