List of technology centers

Xerox Parc in 1977, an important technology lab in California's Silicon Valley

This is a list some of technology centers throughout the world. Government planners and business networks often incorporate "silicon" or "valley" into place names to describe their own areas as a result of the success of Silicon Valley in California. Metrics may be applied to measure qualitative differences between these places, including:

• How much and to what extent public and/or private research and development (R&D) funds are spent in the zones
• What percentage of local employment is technology related
• If the zone is mainly government funded or is mainly corporate driven (or is it a mix of both)
• If mainly corporate, how much revenue and profit and which corporations have headquarters there
• If mainly corporate, how much venture capital has been made available to companies in the zone
• What supporting higher educational institutions (e.g., universities or colleges) are located nearby

Globally prominent clusters

• Silicon Valley: Originating in Stanford University (Palo Alto and Menlo Park), and spreading south towards San Jose, California, and suburbs. San Francisco and nearby areas including Berkeley and Oakland are technically not part of Silicon Valley but have seen growth in industries such as web development since the 90s and venture capital. Silicon Valley, home to three of the five primary Big Tech companies—Alphabet (Google), Apple, and Meta—has maintained dominance for decades in core industries such as microprocessor development as well as software and apps development ^{[1] [2]}
• Greater Seattle: one of the largest tech clusters in the world and home to the remaining two of the five primary Big Tech firms:Amazon and Microsoft. Companies such as Boeing, Nintendo, and most other major tech players have at least some economic presence in Greater Seattle. The University of Washington and Puget Sound vicinity is also home to a large numbers of notable companies & startups in life sciences, biotechnology, medical, video/online game, aerospace, aviation, fintech, technology investment, funds, venture capital, as well as various research & technology centers
• Cambridge Cluster: The name given to the region around Cambridge, England, which is home to a large cluster of high-tech businesses focusing on software, electronics and biotechnology, among others AstraZeneca. Many of these businesses have connections with the University of Cambridge, and the area is now one of the most important technology centres in Europe
• IT cluster Rhine-Main-Neckar, Germany: Europe's largest software cluster, is globally dominant in business software, IT security research and biopharmaceuticals
• Shenzhen-Hong Kong Greater Bay Area: Asia's largest technology cluster, is globally dominant in tech manufacturing, consumer software, research, serving global and largest tech consumer market. Home to some of the largest global tech companies, such as Tencent and others
• Geneva, Switzerland is globally dominant in particle physics at CERN and various frontier scientific & technology research
• Greater Shanghai, including Hangzhou and others in Yangtze River Delta, is globally dominant technology cluster with companies such as Alibaba, Apple, Amazon and Tesla global manufacturing
• Dulles Technology Corridor in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Northern Virginia is globally dominant in telecom, satellite, and defense industries
• Hsinchu Science Park: Greater Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County, Taiwan is the dominant area worldwide for pure-play semiconductor foundry market
• Silicon Alley is a portion of Manhattan, New York City, that encompasses Broadway, the Flatiron District, SoHo, and TriBeCa technology centers
• Silicon Wadi: An area with a high concentration of high-tech industries ^[3] in the coastal plain in Israel.
• Eindhoven, The Netherlands is a leading area in technology, stems from Eindhoven University of Technology, ASML and Philips.
• Toronto and Waterloo Region is a globally prominent technology corridor with companies such as BlackBerry, Desire2Learn and research centers including the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and MaRS Discovery District.
• Kista, Stockholm: is one of continental Europe's leading hubs for the technology industry; this influential industry is based in Kista, a suburb in northern Stockholm which is Europe's largest Informations and Technology cluster. Stockholm has the second most unicorns per capita in the world, after Silicon Valley; the city also has one of the highest startup rates in Europe. ^[4]

24. "MD355/I-270 Technology Corridor Study". Montgomery Planning. The study looks broadly at Montgomery County's most-traveled corridor, identifying strategies to unify and improve the 27-mile swath connecting Bethesda to Clarksburg. Through a coordinated approach, the Planning Board hopes community centers along its path – Bethesda, White Flint, Twinbrook, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown and Clarksburg – will see new jobs and a mix of housing types thanks to their proximity to Metro's Red Line or the proposed Corridor Cities Transitway rapid bus or light rail system.
25. "270 Technology Corridor Report". Maryland: Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce. Below is North I-270 Technology Corridor Report. In this report, we highlight the technology/bio-technology industries located in the corridor to highlight the tremendous depth and breadth of the industry in our geographic area. The DC-Maryland-Virginia region is ranked 5th among the top 10 life sciences clusters in the United States based on NIH funding, venture capital funding, patents, dedicated lab space, and jobs in the industry. For the purposes of this report, the North I-270 Corridor starts at Shady Grove Road and runs north to the Frederick County line, including the Great Seneca Science Corridor (GSSC), Greater Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Clarksburg.
