Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 1, 2014 / Ed Sappin, founder of Sappin Global Strategies, has just posted an article to his company’s website that lists the Top 10 Most Innovative Cities in the World. The list includes cities that are especially adept at creating and growing new ideas and concepts that can have the biggest impact on the world.

As Sappin noted in his new article, he took several criteria into account when creating the list; this included the education and investor bases, the innovation track record, ability to create jobs, and how many patents have been awarded in a particular area. 

“The Sappin Global Strategies Most Innovative Cities in the World 2014 includes 4 entrants from the United States, and 3 each from Asia and Europe,” noted Ed Sappin Global Strategies CEO.

“While the US continues to be the innovation capital, Asia is making noticeable progress, with China and India coming up the ranks. Europe, in spite of its economic challenges, has some bright lights particularly in Scandinavia.”

Coming in at number one on the list of Most Innovative Cities in the World is the Silicon Valley/Bay Area in California. The area is known for its technology and health care industries, and is often looked to as a barometer of sorts when it comes to innovation. The region is home to world leaders like Apple and Google, Sappin noted in the article, and is also a top area for education, entrepreneurs and investors.

Second on the list is New York City. Known primarily as a corporate city, it is also growing quickly as a hub for social media; for example, Kickstarter and Etsy both got their start in The Big Apple. New York also features top-notch universities and boasts a highly-educated population.

Other cities to make the list include Bangalore in India, Helsinki in Finland, Tel Aviv in Israel and Boston, Massachusetts.
