“
Everyone is trying to create the next Silicon Valley.”
That’s what Salim Teja, managing director of the ICT Services Group at MaRS, says to me as we chat over the phone. The conversation mirrors a recent Atlantic article called “Why the ‘Next Silicon Valley’ Is Always Silicon Valley.” Both Teja and Derek Thompson, the author of the article, have similar points: replicating the success of Silicon Valley somewhere else is going to be difficult and perhaps impossible.
