Tech Hub Explainers and Comparisons

Is London really a tech capital? How does it compare with New York, Dublin or Manchester? What does the term tech hub even mean? These questions come up constantly, and the answers are often buried in reports full of jargon or skewed towards one city's marketing.

The explainers here take a calmer approach. We define the terms, look at the measures that matter, such as venture funding, talent, research and company formation, and set out where London leads and where it falls short. Comparisons are written to help founders and job seekers make real decisions, not to cheerlead. Follow the links between articles for the full picture.
