SINGAPORE: Singapore has, for the first time, earned a place among Savills’ “Top 10 Global Technology Cities,” coming in ninth in the property consultancy’s biennial rankings. The country moved up three spots from the previous list.

Savills credited Singapore’s rise to its steady political and regulatory climate, strong business environment, and well-established infrastructure, listing these as long-standing factors that have helped the country attract global firms and talent.

The latest rankings also showed American cities continuing to dominate the field, taking up half of the top ten positions. San Francisco held on to the top spot, buoyed by renewed confidence in its AI-driven technology landscape, while New York followed in second place. London was ranked third, making it the highest-placed European city.

Across Asia, momentum remained strong as well. Six Chinese cities made it into the “Global Top 30 Technology Cities,” with Shanghai and Beijing placing fifth and sixth.

Seoul also broke into the top tier for the first time, taking the tenth spot after climbing four places from the previous survey.
