Our verdict

On our criteria, DIC wins for the most common profile. The region's established tech cluster — Microsoft, Google, Meta and the startups around them.

That said, DSO remains the right call if: it services and electronics, light technical manufacturing. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
