Our mission is to create Europe’s most valid ranking of the best places for entrepreneurs, investors, and digital nomads to live.
For decades, global livability rankings from institutions like Mercer or the Economist Intelligence Unit have felt like a repeating loop, consistently elevating the same ten major cities.
These indices are primarily crafted through the lens of corporate HR departments calculating compensation for expatriate managers, treating quality of life as a static metric for employees rather than a dynamic environment for those who build and lead.
This traditional perspective fails to capture the needs of a modern European avant-garde—entrepreneurs, strategic investors, and location-independent business owners who no longer require a high-rise office to manage global projects within the European Union.
While capital cities increasingly buckle under exploding costs, traffic collapse, and the social friction of over-tourism or radicalization, we are looking toward the continent’s smaller towns and hidden regions.
These areas often offer the agility and long-term ecological resilience necessary to navigate a changing climate and shifting social landscapes.
The foundation for this initiative was laid at the 'The Best Place to Live' conference at the Festspielhaus Bregenz on the shores of Lake Constance—a thriving transnational region itself—where 150 visionaries and entrepreneurs debated the fundamental question of what truly makes a habitat livable for today and tomorrow.
We are now expanding this mission and inviting scientists, data analysts, and creative minds to help us refine this new standard.
As we are currently in the process of securing financing, we welcome partners who want to contribute to building the definitive strategic compass for the next generation of European value creators.
