Innovate Raleigh Summit
Is “IoT” Raleigh’s Silicon Valley?
Innovate Raleigh Summit - Raleigh, NC
Is Raleigh following a Silicon Valley path? In the 1970s and 80s, Silicon Valley combined its region's research, talent, and resources to capitalize on the booming semiconductor industry, leading to some of the earliest successful tech companies and the regional transformation that made Silicon Valley the hub it is today. Does that transformational tale map to what Raleigh is doing today with IoT? Dr. Sarah Glova led this discussion about how 1970’s and 80’s Silicon Valley parallels with today's Triangle ecosystem (and how lessons learned from Silicon Valley's growth could protect Raleigh from negative effects like skyrocketing living costs and inequitable diversity in leadership).
