Pardon me while I use this post to brag. Last month Forbes Magazine published a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, which shared their analysis of 25 cities’ competitiveness to identify which American cities are most ready for the digital revolution they expect will transform every industry, from robotics to healthcare in the coming years.
According to their findings the odds on favorite, San Francisco, has become “too cutthroat to inspire success.” Boston was identified as the U.S. city best placed to capitalize on the shift to a digital economy. A worsening quality of life pushed tech-centered San Francisco Bay Area into second place.
The analysis, “Innovation That Matters 2016,” ranked cities in six categories: talent; capital; industry specialization; culture, such as quality of life and regulation; and ties among entrepreneurs, universities, corporations, governments and others.
Curious to see where your city ranked? You can read the full article in Forbes here or you can read The Chambers report here.
