Next best cities were Toronto, Washington DC, Sydney, Paris and Seattle.
Other ranked Asian cities were Beijing (13), Hong Kong (14), Taipei (15), Shanghai (16), Tokyo (17) and Seoul (20).

“Innovation and job creation by women entrepreneurs is critical for a thriving global economy, yet our research shows some cities and countries are doing far more than others to encourage and support this important subset of the startup community,” said Karen Quintos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dell.
