For more than 50 years, Silicon Valley has remained the epicenter of technological innovation and new venture creation not just in the United States but globally. Almost all of the major disrupters of the last several decades (Intel, Apple, Oracle, Salesforce, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tesla, Uber, Airbnb and many others) were founded in Silicon Valley. Importantly also, Silicon Valley is becoming stronger, not weaker, over time. Silicon Valley also towers head and shoulders above the Cambridge/Boston area notwithstanding the fact that the latter is home to Harvard and MIT (to match Stanford and UC-Berkeley on the West Coast).
In this talk, Professor Gupta will discuss what makes Silicon Valley what it is (“its DNA”), how Silicon Valley is changing, and whether or not the Silicon Valley phenomenon can be replicated in other locations such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Bangalore, London, Berlin, or Singapore.
This discussion will also feature Wu Nan, CEO and Chief Editor of AllChinaTech, Dr. Can Huang, Professor at School of Management, Zhejiang University and Benson Tam, Founder & Chairman, Venturous.
