In the subcategories, Tallinn was particularly highly regarded in terms of employment participation rate, education level, knowledge and skills, as well as for the business-friendly entrepreneurship and investment environment, achieving tenth and third place in the rankings, respectively.
The fDi rankings are compiled every two years. Medium-sized cities are considered those with a population of 200,000 to 750,000. Tallinn has been placed among the top 10 cities in various categories since 2012.
The attractiveness of a city or region as a foreign investment destination is evaluated according to economic potential, human capital, cost effectiveness, connectivity and business friendliness based on nearly 90 different statistical indicators. More than 250 cities were assessed in the ranking, which were divided into five categories according to the size of the population.
