Barcelona as a business place (slightly old...)

While browsing through old newspapers, I found these figures for Barcelona as a business place in comparison with other cities (El País, October 10, 2010, i.e. 10/10/10):

Best cities for business: ranked 4th (1st: London; 2009)

Entrepreneurial activity: rank 7 (1st: Mexico [country]; 2008)

Export business perspectives: rank 8 (1st: Lisbon [sic!]; 2010)

DFI projects: rank 6 (1st: London; 2008)

Trade fair organization: rank 5 (1st: Singapur, 2008)

Employees in Science&Tech: rank 5 (1st: Paris; 2008)

As you see, these figures are already a little old; maybe they have newer figures on the city's website, here.
