Servers.com just expanded its operations in this European country, which has all the makings of a financial-tech hot spot, says COO Nick Dvas.
When it comes to expansion for fin-tech companies in Europe, all roads lead to Luxembourg. Having recently expanded our operations into this country, we have found it to be an ideal business center.
First, Luxembourg is the Silicon Valley of Europe. It is home to the European branches of PayPal, Amazon, Microsoft, eBay and others.
One major advantage of Luxembourg over California is the strength of its financial sector. Luxembourg is the No. 1 investment-fund center in Europe (second worldwide behind the U.S.), and No. 1 for listing international bonds in Europe.
Another advantage of Luxembourg over California is the absence of unbearable traffic and enormous housing costs. When you're in Luxembourg, you can get around much faster and live less expensively than in the San Francisco Bay Area.
