The study looks at five investment types: international headquarters, shared services, software development, financial services and life sciences.
It takes qualitative measures such as business environment and quality of life, while also weighing quantitative cost factors. The analysis replicates the strategic shortlisting process that companies often utilize when making location decisions. “Chicago is one of the global top performers in that it shows tremendous strength in nearly every sector measured, illustrating that the city is a premier location for different types of investment projects.” “The World’s Most Competitive Cities report demonstrates the different strengths of the top international cities for business investment,” said Roel Spee, Global Leader IBM-Plant Location International. I will continue to foster growth and create jobs across Chicago so we maintain and improve this high standing in the global economy.”
“A report like this shows the opportunities we have with our diverse economy, talented workforce, world-class infrastructure and incredible quality of life. “I am pleased to receive this recognition for our efforts and that IBM has characterized Chicago as one of the top cities in the world in every category,” said Mayor Emanuel.
