When I was in Silicon Valley recently, a good friend who works at Apple easily connected me with someone at Facebook, who was open to meeting and showing me around the campus. The next day, I was at Google talking about the future of video and audio technology.
Yet it still struggles to identify itself as more than a vacation destination. There are several key factors that help facilitate these partnerships. In many markets, there are the multiple news sources covering new and existing companies. This coverage encourages the use and sharing of new products in a way that gives them a competitive advantage. The Bay Area has some of the strongest organizations to promote and foster innovation and startups. Organizations such as Startups, Plug and Play and Y-Combinator are huge resource centers for entrepreneurs and startups to build their business and form strong strategic partnerships.
Just a few events in a market can make a tremendous impact on the local economy. Events like the Upfront Summit in L. These new companies seem to remember when they started it was probably less than 10 years ago and they make it very easy to integrate new technologies into their business. I plan to examine why Silicon Valley and other markets are so good at fostering these opportunities and highlight how San Diego can get started bringing these valuable business ingredients to our market.
