European cities attract start-ups
While overcrowding is an issue requiring a concerted e ort by all stakeholders, there is a growing drive among start-ups in Europe to address other pain points in travel.
Some of the largest start-ups in travel, most notably Airbnb and Uber, originate from the US; however, Silicon Valley is increasingly competing with European hubs for start-up talent and investment.
Research by Startup Genome shows that Silicon Valley is still the uncontested start-up capital of the world. London, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam all make it into the top 20. Other popular European start-up hubs include Dublin, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Lisbon and Prague.
