I’m also from an EU country, and I was living in a city where no kind of innovation is possible.
I moved to the capital, and started working for a startup and later a multinational company. Maybe it’s not Silicon Valley but there is enough innovation to make the people more opened to risk and opportunities.
People there is much more professional, have more resources, and don’t worry about you (no “little town” mentality).
I have learned more (from others) in half the time in the capital than in my original city. There are issues when living in a big city but it’s worth it for me.
