What is the biggest dream of every person who works in the technology field? I would go out on a limb and say that to live and work in Silicon Valley is one of the top answers. There is the fact that the opportunities to work there are rather rare for a lot of people. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams! Did you know that there are Silicon Valleys in other parts of the world?
I suppose there is some truth in the argument that there is nothing quite like THE Silicon Valley, but the world has gotten smaller and smaller over the years, and centers of tech innovation are cropping up all over the planet. This spells good news for you, if you are looking to make a splash in the scene.
The guys at Gist have done a bit of research about these tech centers, and they summed up their findings in an infographic. From the coast of Mexico to the cities of Europe to the archipelagos of Asia – you will find a tech hotspot near you where you can aim to make a name for yourself.
The infographic goes further by listing down weaknesses and strengths of the tech hotspots in focus, including details such as Venture Capital and Private Equity Attraction Index. It also shows you how many days (on average, I suppose) it takes to get a business up and running. Indeed, this infographic can be very useful for those who are serious about creating something that may very well be the next big thing.
Are you ready for it?
Interesting graphic. I wonder why Americans are cynical about being able to start a business. Considering you can incorporate in this country in as long as it takes to process the paperwork about a work week. And with zero proof of capital or viability. I can’t imagine anywhere else on this earth that it would be easier to start a business.
