With major tech companies like Google and Facebook already setting up shop in the German city, Hamburg’s mix of industry as a port city and financial center gives it a broad appeal, according to the Financial Times. Among other companies based in the city are Siemens and Airbus.

Last year, Hamburg-based startups raised €230 million in funding, as compared to €128 million in 2016, and, according to a recent study, the city now officially has more entrepreneurs per capita than Berlin. [FT] — Erin Hudson
