Thanks to Brexit (well done...), Amsterdam is expected to be the new biggest trading center of Europe. https://www.ft.com/content/3dad4ef3-59e8-437e-8f63-f629a5b7d0aa https://www.ft.com/content/3dad4ef3-59e8-437e-8f63-f629a5b7d... I was already aware of at least two big trading firms opening significant offices here, and now I expect there to be more. For those interested in fintec, Amsterdam is going to offer a lot of good options soon.

Thats interesting and definitely worth keeping an eye on. However a tech culture doesn't develop over night, so while companies may be relocating it doesn't mean they may be as desirable as those in the uk (appetite for using new tech, high pay and bonuses, perks and generally speaking that feeling of moving fast and breaking things). Continental europe, to me, appears more rigid and less open to change - killer traits for a healthy tech scene.
