The project: study the Silicon Valley's Habitat.

Silicon Valley is the world’s paradigm as specialized habitat for create high tech companies. Thousands of people come here every year to learn the secrets of its success. 

C. Lee, from Stanford University, have recently written that <<like a natural habitat for flora and fauna, the habitat of Silicon Valley in one in which all the resources high-tech entrepreneurial firms need to survive have grown organically over time. Silicon Valley’s habitat includes people, firms and institutions –their networks and modes of interaction. And like a natural habitat, it is marked by complex, dynamic, interdependent relationships>>. 

Following the focus of Lee, and with the purpose of contribute to the local and global development, this project will extend the study of the habitat of Silicon Valley analyzing with more detail what we understand are its 7 key components: 

1. Rules.

2. Philosophy.

3. People (leaders & networks).

4. Firms.

5. Universities.

6. Support Structure for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

7. Environment. 

 

Unfortunately, Silicon Valley is still deeply unknown for most business, entrepreneurs and institutions all around the world. The mission of this project is help them to know it better and to connect with its main agents.
