Abstract:1. Introduction -- 2. The evolution of high-technology regions -- 3. Identifying emerging high-tech regions -- 4. Portland : two anchor firms seed the Silicon Forest -- 5. Boise : printers and semiconductors in the Treasure Valley -- 6. Kansas City : growing a second tier life sciences region in the heartland -- 7. Conclusion
Second tier high-tech regions are taking a different path than their well-known counterparts such as Silicon Valley or Route 128 around Boston. They may lack many prerequisites of growth such as a world-class research university or high levels of venture capital funding. Often, however, they can successfully leverage anchor firms and entrepreneurial spinoffs. This book explores the evolution of these regions in the United States
