Speaking about the final rankings, PeoplePerHour founder and chief executive Xenios Thrasyvoulou, was optimistic by the British placings on the list, in particular. ‘It’s fantastic to see that despite the worries over Brexit and the continuing fallout from the GEC, Britain has managed get two cities featured in the top fifteen rankings with effective strategic planning…the fact that Manchester is the third best place in the world for new startups, beating the likes of New York, Sydney and London is phenomenal, and bodes really well for the future of the so-called “Northern Powerhouse”.’
