Real estate firm JLL listed Rose City as the 8th best high-tech hub in the nation.

The elements examined for the ranking include employment growth, high-tech office employment concentration, market dynamism, innovation and investment trends. A major factor in Portland’s rise in the rankings came from the city’s “ market dynamism,” which translates to concentration of amenities, walkability, high-tech clustering and vibrancy of the broader market beyond office space.

  3. Silicon Valley
