Sillicon Valley is een luchtbel die elk moment kan instorten.

Belachelijk, want overal op de wereld schoten de "Silicon Valleys" met honderden uit de grond, en nog altijd komen er bij.

"Silicon Valley" is een gevleugelde uitdrukking geworden voor andere plaatsen ter wereld die bekendstaan om hun concentratie van hoogtechnologische industrie, zoals Bangalore (het "Indiase Silicon Valley"), Flanders Language Valley (het "Vlaamse Silicon Valley") en Sophia Antipolis bij Valbonne, het Zuid-Franse Telecom Valley.

This is a list of technology centers throughout the world. Governmental planners and business networks like to use the name "silicon" or "valley" to describe their own areas as a result of the success of Silicon Valley in California. Nevertheless, there are a few qualitative differences between these places, and metrics may be applied to measure their dominance.

Globally Prominent clusters (with specific dominant markets listed)

Silicon Valley - originating in Stanford University (Palo Alto and Menlo Park), and spreading south towards San Jose, California and suburbs. San Francisco and other areas, especially near Berkeley and Oakland, are technically not part of Silicon Valley, nevertheless SF in particular has seen near dominance in particular higher up industries such as web development (2013-2016) and venture capital. Silicon Valley has maintained dominance for decades in core industries such as microprocessor development, and had been the dominant software development center (including web) before it lost that crown to nearby San Francisco. Peculiar to the region is an obvious lack of other industries, as technology has crowded them out.

Silicon Wadi - is an area with a high concentration of high-tech industries[1] in the coastal plain in Israel. Israel as a whole country has strong innovation in Cyber Security, Agritech and more. The Silicon Wadi area covers much of the country, although especially high concentrations of hi-tech industry can be found in the area around Tel Aviv, including small clusters around the cities of Ra'anana, Petah Tikva, Herzliya, Netanya, the academic city of Rehovot and its neighbour Rishon Le Zion. In addition, hi-tech clusters can be found in Haifa and Caesarea. More recent hi-tech establishments have been raised in Jerusalem (Technology Park, Malha, Har Hotzvim and JVP Media Quarter in Talpiot), and the Startup Village Ecosystem in the Yokneam area.

Shenzhen Hi-Tech Industrial Park - Shenzhen, Guangdong, China Shenzhen municipality and surrounds, including Dongguan's factories had been for a decade the world's dominant peripheral hardware suppliers. More recently Shenzhen has become the dominant place worldwide for hardware startups (excluding microprocessors, chip memory, and pure-play semiconductor foundry).

Suwon, Korea or Samsung Digital City is the dominant place worldwide for chip memory and integrated system on a chip with large components of microchip memory.

Hsinchu Science Park - Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County, Taiwan is the dominant place worldwide for pure-play semiconductor foundry market.

India as a whole is globally dominant in software technology outsourcing, but not in a single technology park or city. Technopark, Trivandrum is the Asia's largest IT Park situated at Thiruvananthapuram, India.

Thailand as a whole is globally dominant in hard disk manufacturing.

CERN in Geneva, Switzerland is globally dominant in particle physics.

Dulles Technology Corridor is globally dominant in telecom, satellite, and defense industries.

Silicon Alley or NYC is globally dominant in fintech although Shenzhen is also coming up strong in this area.

Tsukuba Science City, Japan has the largest budget of government-sponsored general research and development for any science park zone of its size.
