Happy to see Santiago, Chile is #12 on this list of top startup hubs. I was a participant in Start-Up Chile (http://startupchile.com http://startupchile.com) and I do not believe it would feature at all without the programme. I think this provides some evidence that you can buy a startup hub. With the same amount of spending but with better execution (independent of government) I think there is potential for a developing world country to make it into the top 5. They really need to get much closer to implementing the model described by PG in Can You Buy a Silicon Valley: http://www.paulgraham.com/maybe.html http://www.paulgraham.com/maybe.html
