Цьогоріч Київ, за результатами, випереджає багато інших європейських міст, зокрема Дублін, Копенгаген, Цюріх та Мілан. У звіті вказано, що Київ особливо сильний центр для стартапів у сфері програмного забезпечення та даних, маркетингу та продажів, а також харчових технологій. Зазначимо, що в цих галузях у Києві вже працює понад 250 компаній.У п’ятірку найкращих міст для розвитку стартапів цьогоріч увійшли Сан-Франциско, Нью-Йорк, Пекін, Лос-Анджелес і Лондон. Водночас цьогоріч українська столиця втратила 16 пунктів у рейтингу. У 2019 рік Київ посів 34-е місце з тисячі стартап-міст світу, а у 2020 році — 32-е місце. Чому так сталося, з'ясовуємо з Ігорем Маркевичем, керівником програм українського фонду стартапів.
