Remote’s “Best Destinations for Remote Work" is an in-depth statistical analysis and evaluation of every country in the world and all 50 U.S. states across seven relevant categories: internet infrastructure, attractiveness, safety, quality of life, openness, cost of living, and special incentives for remote workers. To inform overall scores and rankings, Remote incorporated user-defined weights for each of the seven categories.
When attributing equal weights to all seven components, the top 10 destinations for remote work are:
- Toronto, Canada
- Madrid, Spain
- Auckland, New Zealand
- Madeira, Portugal
- Helsinki, Finland
- Svalbard, Norway
- Berlin, Germany
- Valparaiso, Chile
- Dublin, Ireland
- Sydney, Australia
Some key findings from the report include:
● None of the top 10 cities were located in the U.S., with heavy representation across Europe and Oceania.
● Auckland, New Zealand; Honolulu, Hawaii; Sydney, Australia; and Reykjavik, Iceland are among the top destinations with the best quality of life for remote workers.
● The most open-minded places are Stockholm, Sweden; Toronto, Canada; and Amsterdam/Netherlands.
● Aruba offers the best incentives for digital nomads through its “One Happy Workation” program.
● Emilia Romagna, Italy has the largest cash incentive, paying young families (under 40 years old) $34,000 to relocate.
● Topeka, Kansas, provides up to $5,000 in funds to rent in one’s first year and up to $10,000 in funds for a home purchase as a relocation incentive.
● Colorado grants employers cash awards for each remote worker employed in an eligible rural county outside the county where the project is based.
● Remote workers in Cabo Verde are exempt from income tax.
● Ecuador offers a professional visa that offers the lowest monthly income requirement of any country at $400.
● St. Louis, Missouri, has the best housing incentive where individuals can purchase city-owned property for only $1.
"For a long time, workers were restricted to living near major urban hubs if they wanted to access the best job opportunities. The freedom to work from anywhere opens the door for employees to choose their home – or travel – without compromising their work,” said Remote’s CEO and co-founder Job van der Voort. “With so many possibilities, our interactive ranking tool aims to find the perfect destination for everyone based on what they value most. We’re excited to share this truly global database and interactive tool to empower remote workers and global employers.”

AI Won't Transform Mobility Without Unprecedented Collaboration, Study Reveals8.12.2025 10:25:00 EET | Press release
Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping global transportation systems, but most deployments remain isolated pilots that haven't achieved scale – and the gap between AI's promise and its execution is widening, according to a landmark study launched today at CoMotion GLOBAL in Riyadh. The Envisioning the Future of Mobility Powered by AI report, developed by the MIT Mobility Initiative and Kearney Advanced Mobility Institute, analyzed input from 55 leading global organizations, including Google, Lyft, Uber Freight, Deutsche Bahn, and NEOM. The study mapped real-world AI applications across mobility systems in Europe, the Americas, APAC, and the Middle East – revealing both breakthrough potential and fundamental challenges in bringing AI-powered mobility to scale.
