Austin Named the Best Tech City on the Planet
Dell, IBM and AMD have been pillars of the tech community in Austin, but with newcomers like Facebook and Google setting up offices in recent years, the metro has finally begun to be recognized for the tech giant it has become. Start ups abound – fueled by a very favorable business environment and the constant stream of talent pouring into the state – providing an even greater job pool. Austin’s cost of living and vibrancy of the city help drive the migration of tech talent that the city has seen in recent years.
What Factors Were Considered?
The report looked at 22 cities worldwide and evaluated them on:
- Tech Environment
- Business Environment
- Real Estate Costs
- Talent Pool
- Lifestyle
Interestingly, Austin ranked #1 overall, but lost to cities like Berlin, London and Tokyo.
