Our verdict

On our criteria, DSO wins for the most common profile. A self-contained tech park with housing, schools and offices — now part of DIEZ.

That said, SRTIP remains the right call if: deep-tech and hardware startups, r&d operations. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
