Cape Town rated one of the ‘Top 30 Tech Cities’ in the world

According to the third edition of the Savills Tech Cities index, the locations chosen are important and bustling tech hubs in their region as well as “Venture Capital investment hotspots”. The index reportedly measures what makes a city successful and uses six factors to do so, including; business environment, tech environment, city buzz/wellness, talent pool, real estate costs, and mobility (a new factor only added this year). Cities are then scored using more than 100 individual metrics with the highest-ranking cities being those that make the most fruitful places for tech and start-up companies to flourish.
