Dell Inc. has revealed its top 25 cities in the world for female entrepreneurs, with New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, London, Stockholm, and Singapore topping the list based on their ability to “attract and foster growth in firms founded by women.”
“Innovation and job creation by women entrepreneurs is critical for a thriving global economy,” said Karen Quintos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dell.
“Yet our research shows some cities and countries are doing far more than others to encourage and support this important subset of the startup community.”
Dell partnered with insight and analytics provider IHS to launch the Women Entrepreneur Cities Index (WE Cities), which is the first global gender-specific index. They identified five important pillars for cities: capital, technology, talent, culture, and markets. These pillars were organized into two groups–operating environment and enabling environment.
