The meaning of wealth today has evolved. It is no longer just about accumulation. It is about optionality, the freedom to choose where you live and build your life. And it is about physical and mental well-being, choosing environments that support how you live, think, and feel. This shift was at the heart of our Beyond Borders Breakfast, where Multipolitan welcomed over 100 guests at The Nanson. Singapore’s leading founders, investors, and private client advisors came together for a morning of thoughtful conversations, a healthy breakfast spread, and live music. Thank you to Elyx, Peachtree Group, WealthSummit for your participation. Great to have you speak at the event Nicolas Reynard, Amelia Yeo, Varun Panjwani,Victor A. Espinosa & Claude Baumann alongside Chee Okebalama & Tamanna Wasan. We got to do this again.

Three types of cities will thrive in the future — financial centers, nomad-friendly cities, and startup cities. Within startup cities, legacy titans are falling behind. Builder cities like Singapore and Dubai are pulling ahead. Watch the highlight with our CEO Nirbhay Handa and host Nicole Lee on the You Never Know Podcast.

Nirbhay Handa, our CEO, was featured in Inc. on how global trade disruption is redrawing the startup map — and which cities are pulling ahead. His take: cities that treat founders like customers will win. The ones that don't, won't. inc.com/alison-stein/t…

London’s strengths remain clear. So do the areas that will shape its next phase of competitiveness. That balance is exactly what the Startup Friendly Cities Index 2026 is designed to capture. 🔗 Full Index multipolitan.com/resource/the-s… #London #FounderEconomy #StartupFriendlyCities #Multipolitan

The index also shows a shift in the global landscape. Competition is intensifying as cities differentiate on regulatory clarity, digital infrastructure, and quality of life, not just access to capital.

London’s startup ecosystem is proving resilient. The data places London 8th globally, reinforcing its role as Europe’s primary centre for technology investment and a leading hub for fintech and AI. 🔗 Read the latest feature in The Standard standard.co.uk/business/londo… #London #FounderEconomy #StartupFriendlyCities #Multipolitan

What happens when statehood acts as a product? We hosted a Digital State Project contributor panel and heard everything from decentralized digital identity to climate-driven sovereignty questions. Across many industries, there is clear push toward what comes next: the agentic state. Big ideas, but grounded in real use cases - from Ukraine to Palau and even in space. Powerful shared aspirations from people actually building this future: Jonathan Reid, @jellsmoor , @hrishlotlikar ,@luukasilves , @abornyakov , @_annahazlett , @brilwang .

Dubai ranked third globally in the Multipolitan Startup Friendly Cities Index 2026, trailing San Francisco and Zurich. #EmiratesNews #DubaiOneTv #UAE #Dubai #News @gregfairlie

@Emirates_News @gregfairlie This captures it well. Ecosystems don’t mature overnight, but when execution aligns with ambition, momentum compounds. Dubai’s position reflects that trajectory. For a deeper look at the data and methodology, the full Index is here: multipolitan.com/resource/the-s…

@ARNNewsCentre Dubai's ranking in the global top three sends a clear signal to founders. The full Startup Friendly Cities Index 2026 explains what's driving that momentum: multipolitan.com/resource/the-s…

The Startup Friendly Cities Index 2026, published by global platform Multipolitan, placed Dubai behind only San Francisco and Zurich, and ahead of cities including London, Paris and New York. arnnewscentre.ae/en/news/busine…

Cities aren’t competing on history anymore. They’re competing on speed. The fastest-rising startup hubs are the ones that remove friction for founders, not the ones with the longest legacy. That’s why Dubai is moving from “interesting” to “undeniable.” Full index: multipolitan.com/resource/the-s… #Startups #StartupFriendlyCitiesIndex2026 #StartupTrends #Multipolitan
