U.S., China and India Lead in Global Tech Markets

The U.S. leads in top tech talent locations, reinforcing its status as a global innovation hub. Three of the top five cities – San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and New York City – at the forefront. However, China and India also solidified their positions as powerhouses for skilled tech professionals, with each having five markets in the top 50 list, according to Colliers’ newly issued Global Tech Markets: Top Talent Locations 2025 report.

Colliers analyzed more than 200 global markets based on talent acquisition, venture capital funding, labor index strength, talent pipeline, and sector composition. The results show that 36% of the world’s tech talent lives in one of 10 global tech locations. All 10 are in either the U.S. or India.

“Tech talent is increasingly concentrated in core cities across the U.S., China, India and Europe, which have now become the world’s most influential digital innovation hubs fueling the global economy,” said Andrew Hallissey, CEO of Occupier Services | Global at Colliers.
