Investment? i agree, you need some investment to build things
Wich begs the question: why would anyone decide to invest there? if not to waste money, or perhaps get easy government's money?
A way to inflate prices perhaps?

- jvanderbot 5y agoTalent ecosystem. Graduates from nearby universities could intern and cut their teeth. Local professors could have coffee/tea chats with everyone, ensuring high throughput of relevant research. The best of the best from nearby related fabs / companies / customers could be poached with high salaries, or less boredom. As pointed out, Japan has lots of fabs and top-rate high tech companies. It matters to have a pipeline of high-skill workers and access to high-tech industries for a business like this.
