19. What It Will Take to Create the Next Great Silicon Valleys, Plural
The popular recipe for creating the “next” Silicon Valley goes something like
this:
● Build a big, beautiful, fully equipped technology park;
● Mix in R&D labs and university centers;
● Provide incentives to attract scientists, firms, and users;
● Interconnect the industry through consortia and specialized suppliers;
● Protect intellectual property and tech transfer; and
● Establish a favorable business environment and regulations.

Except … this approach to innovation clusters hasn’t really worked.

21. You shouldn’t be trying to copy Silicon Valley. You should figure out what
domain is (or could be) specific to their region. Ie:
Bitcoin Valley
Drone Valley,
Driverless Car Valley
Stem Cell Valley. And so on.
