Interesting comparison, and a reflection that many cities/regions increased FinTech activity can be found. We expect different centers of excellence to shape beyond just one or 2 like you have in pure tech (silicon Valley and Israel)
“I want the UK to lead the world in developing Fintech. That’s my ambition – short and sweet.” (George Osborne, UK Chancellor at the launch of Innovate Finance) And as evidenced by the multiple initiatives coming from the Silicon Valley, New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and many others, this is clearly the ambition of many other people too! So now that I have (NOT!) scientifically proven that the number of Twitter followers actually reflect the ranking of each city in the Fintech race, here is the official list: Place Twitter Followers New York @NYFTS 2,743 Hong Kong @FinTechHK 2,526 London @FinTechLondon 1,037 France @FinTechFR 850 Holland @HollandFinTech 432 Germany @FintechGermany 346 Switzerland @FintechCH 278 UK @CorpFintechUK 127 Italy @fintechitaly 6
