With “Brexit” looming over Britain, a promising new startup hub is emerging in Europe: Berlin’s Silicon Allee. As a comparison between London and Berlin demonstrates, chances are the latter may claim the position as EU’s most important startup ecosystem. But it takes a lot more to stand a chance against San Francisco, the startup capital at the heart of Silicon Valley. Is Berlin ready to compete with that?

Over one-quarter of the world’s unicorn startups are located in Silicon Valley. Being the world’s largest startup ecosystem, it’s valued at approximately $279 billion. In 2016 alone the Silicon Valley startups collected $26 billion in venture capital amongst themselves.

But the Bay Area faces some serious trouble: along with the groundbreaking success of its companies the cost of living has been rising rapidly. This means as workers are priced out and start looking elsewhere for more affordable options, startups struggle to find the talent they need.
