Even though London has highest number of start-ups the latest research, based on data analysis by Instant Offices, shows that Birmingham surpasses the capital as the most entrepreneurial UK city in 2018. Birmingham takes pole position thanks to its impressive start-up to population ratio.
In recent years the city has been growing significantly. A large number of infrastructure projects including HS2 and Paradise, significant transport improvements, and lower costs for office space have encouraged many existing and new businesses to focus their attention and relocate to Birmingham.
