Robinhood<\/a>, and Macrovue looking to head to Sydney. This is where the action is!<\/p>\n\n\n\nDid you know that Australian fintech startups alone raised 14% of more than a billion dollars raised around the world in 2015?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With easy access to the Asia-Pacific region, Sydney is the the perfect location to grow and expand your international presence in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no secret – beautiful cities cost a lot to live in. And there\u2019s no doubt that Sydney is an expensive place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There may be hope in the near future for renters, with experts suggesting a rental apartment bubble about to burst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been surmised that pockets around Sydney where there is an oversupply of units from the apartment building boom, will see rent falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help offset the rental costs, our Aussie dollar has been declining against a rising US dollar since 2014. As a result, this has seen a 10% reduction in the cost of doing business in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Talent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n With a diverse economy, and a stable, low-risk business environment, Sydney is supported by world class financial and legal systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is a magnet for business talent, and produces an abundance of opportunities, making it a great launching pad for your company’s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sydney also has over 300,000 students enrolling into university each year, at some of the most prestigious universities in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Government is also welcoming new international talent, with incentives for new business migrants who plan to set up business, or invest in Sydney and New South Wales. Making it easier to start a business, and encourage business investment in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Diversity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Sydney is a city that boosts the prosperity of its residents. From world class communications and an emerging transport infrastructure, to access across a range of sectors and skills; Sydney helps people and businesses connect with each other, and with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sydney’s Vivid Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWith a population of over 5 million, its cultural diversity attracts arts, entertainment and food havens from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a myriad of cultural and religious celebrations across the city too, and embracing this diversity has become a positive for its people to create unique businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Not only is Sydney beautiful, but we are also fun to hang out with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we have a wicked sense of humour. (Just ask us!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With mostly moderate temperatures year round, who wouldn\u2019t be happy to live here? Enjoy the surf, the bush, and all the activities surrounding every neighbourhood. Our love of coffee, sport and arts helps us get through the working week – and the daily traffic commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With those 6 things in mind, we think it’s clear Sydney has the advantage when it comes to the best location for your startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, Daniel himself hails from Melbourne, a small town in the south that Sydney has a friendly rivalry with. So we’ll forgive him for overlooking our fine city this time around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
