Introduction Silicon Valley has once set an example of a breeding ground for enterprise where technology and creativity merge to give birth to new products. Since the emergence of Silicon Valley, Californian business success stories have been inspiring others all across the globe to follow in their steps to create their very own digital zones. In 2000, the United Arab Emirates decided to use Silicon Valley as a blueprint to trigger and foster creative development and make the nation one of the most innovative in the world in the next couple of decades.
