Topping the list is Silicon Valley, Calif., followed by Tel Aviv, Israel; Los Angeles; Seattle; New York and Boston.
Chicago was ranked 15th in a report earlier this year.
The city moved up thanks in part to the opening of a new startup incubator in the Merchandise Mart, several big venture-capital announcements and more commitment from City Hall.
