December 2, 2025 – Singapore has made a strong showing in the latest biennial Tech Cities Index by Savills, climbing three positions to 9th place globally, marking its first entry into the top ten. The report highlights Singapore’s stable political and regulatory environment, world-class infrastructure, and business-friendly ecosystem as key factors driving its rise in tech competitiveness.
Another Asian city also entered the top ten this year. Seoul, South Korea, rose four places to 10th, benefiting from strong wealth growth, increasing net migration, and government support for sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing, and biotechnology.
The report notes that both Singapore and Seoul face low office vacancy rates and limited supply, contributing to rising rental costs. Nevertheless, tech cities across the region continue to perform steadily. Six Chinese cities ranked among the top 30, with Shanghai and Beijing placing 5th and 6th, reflecting the advantages of China’s large domestic market and increasingly mature local tech ecosystem.
Globally, U.S. tech cities continue to lead. San Francisco tops the index, leveraging its status as an AI innovation hub, with office demand consistently above the five-year average. New York ranks second, benefiting from a diversified industry base, deep talent pool, and its appeal as a cultural and lifestyle center. London, with its world-class universities and strong innovation ecosystem, ranks third, reinforcing its position as Europe’s leading tech hub.
According to Savills, top-performing tech cities typically combine vibrant urban lifestyles, diverse economic structures, and rich talent resources, enabling them to attract and retain businesses. Growth in the tech sector also drives higher demand for real estate, including office space, R&D facilities, and employee housing.
Established in 2015, the Tech Cities Index evaluates global cities on their business and tech environment, sector vibrancy, employee well-being, talent availability, and the strength and depth of different tech sectors to identify cities driving innovation and attracting tech talent. Singapore’s entry into the top ten further consolidates its position as a regional core for technology and innovation.
