When searching for the top 10 startup hubs in the world, one name you can’t overlook in any list available anywhere on the web is Berlin, the UNESCO “City of Design”. Surprisingly, a survey on Venture Village shows that Berlin has 50% increase in startups from 2008 to present as compared to Munich. Ranked on number 20 by the World Bank Group in terms of “Ease of Doing Business”, no doubt StartupBootcamp enlisted this wonderhub as one of the top 3 startup ecosystems round the world. Thus after the massive success of NYC City Beat, our next halt is this beautiful city with spectacular innovations paving their way to the zenith. Before we present you with our City Beat version 2, let’s have a look at 10 names who are making Berlin stand out as a startup hub! For full feature, here's the link http://bit.ly/1glvFWK
