I've heard this claim many times before, including about other actual tech hubs (Austin, Portland, ...). None of them have panned out to be true.

- ahartman00 10y agoyeah it seems like when one of the big software companies opens a satellite office in $city/country, then you see "$city/country is the new silicon valley". There is also the variant where a writer from $city writes something along the lines of: see how much money they are making? we should do that here, because then we would be making that money. $city officials need to set up a silicon valley in $city. To be fair though, I thought this article offered some valid reasons why it might happen. (maybe I'm biased as a midwesterner, or I really want it to be true :) )
