The Best Cities for Young Entrepreneurs
Nestpick, an apartment search engine based in Geremany, has released a study revealing the top 110 cities for entrepreneurial millennials, based on factors such as startup ecosystem and employment. Nestpick conducted this study in order to pinpoint which cities are successfully attracting this generation and therefore a core future workforce.
“Millennials grew up in a shrinking world, where the internet opened doors their parents never could have dreamed of, and budget airlines made those avenues real possibilities,” said Ömer Kücükdere, Managing Director of Nestpick. “It’s now possible to live and work anywhere in the world, and these opportunities are shaping how our planet will look to future generations.
“We must learn to adapt to the needs of younger people in order to have a thriving economy,” he added, “and we believe that this ranking offers valuable insights to those cities looking for regeneration from a younger demographic.”
