Vienna, named most liveable city worldwide for the seventh time in a row, also managed to develop a vivid startup scene over the last couple of years. Located right in the center of Europe, equipped with an excellent infrastructure and active support from the government, the city is attracting international startups, investors & ecosystem shapers as well. Success stories such as the exit of Runtastic (€220M) or Shpock, the mobile pocket flea market (€200M) lead by example and as the startup scene blossoms more and more will follow.
