The crisis, if it has drastically dropped the volume of international investment projects around the world, did not jostle out the hierarchy of the most attractive cities to establish research centers, headquarters or centers of production. The 2021 edition of the Global Cities Investment Monitor, published Wednesday, November 17, confirms the first place in London in the eyes of international investors, but a first pale, Brexit effect requires.
The market share of the British metropolis reflues since 2019, in comparison, bring out the attraction of Paris and the Ile-de-France, which occupy the second place of the ranking, despite a market share that remains almost unchanged. Singapore comes third, followed by a double between Düsseldorf and Dubai. New York, the first American city, is eighth in this rankings made on the basis of a survey conducted by Opinionway, with five hundred international investors settled in twenty countries, and commissioned by Greater Paris Investment Agency and Choose Paris Region.
52% more than 2020

After a drastic fall in 2020, Choose Paris Region, the International Promotion and Attractiveness Agency of the Ile-de-France region, had to deal with 736 projects over the period between January and October 2021, an increase in 18% compared to 2020. These projects potentially represent 32,056 new three-year deadlines, or 52% more than last year.

The old continent was, in 2020, the first investor towards the rest of the world, with 55% of international direct investment, and the first beneficiary of global investors, with 49% of the projects. The number of overseas projects has increased sharply. In addition to London and Paris, three German metropolises (Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich), two Spanish (Barcelona and Madrid), supplemented by Amsterdam and Dublin, are included in the favorite cities of investors. In this survey, one of the criteria of choice for implantations was the response to the sanitary crisis: Paris arrives in second place after Singapore and before Shanghai and London.
