Presence in tech centres around the world
Sydney
Sydney’s position as Australia’s Software, Media and Financial Services technology powerhouse is set to move up a gear. The convergence of digital and financial sector strengths and growing global recognition of the city’s role as a key financial and start- up hub for the Asia Pacific region are fuelling Sydney’s emergence as one of the world’s most exciting financial and start-up centres.
Sydney has a global outlook and enjoys the high standard of supporting infrastructure that is expected from a world city. Its strengths across financial services, transport and logistics, telecommunications and IT have made Sydney the tech hub of Australia; with an important position in the rest of the thriving South East Asia market. The Australian lifestyle also attracts smart people from around the world.
Stockholm
With almost as many tech start-ups as Silicon Valley, Stockholm in Sweden is fast becoming one of the global IT hubs. Internationally successful start-ups such as Spotify, Candy Crush and Minecraft creator Mojang all hail from Stockholm. We know about giants like Volvo, Saab, Ericsson, IKEA, H&M, ABB, Electrolux and Husqvarna, but did you also know this bunch of Swedish start-ups –from Skype, Spotify, Linux and Mojang to MySQL, Wrapp, Klarna, Memeto to LifeSum?
Sweden is a nation of digital natives. Stockholm is one of the most digitally connected economies in the world. A Creandum report showed that €2.6 billion (around £1.9 billion, $2.9 billion) is being generated per year from Nordic tech company exports, with more than half of this coming from Sweden alone. In this nation of nine million people, something is making tech tick.
