Technocation

Technocation has been used to refer to the intersection of technology and location, such as a city or region that is known for its technological advances. It has been used to describe Silicon Valley, where numerous tech companies are based, as well as other technology hubs around the world. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on technocation as a way to bring together different tech-related industries and create an environment that fosters innovation and collaboration. For instance, some cities have begun to provide tax incentives to tech companies to encourage them to set up shop in the city, while others have created special zones specifically designed to attract tech companies. These efforts are helping to create a more interconnected, global tech industry that is driving innovation and economic growth around the world.
A corner of Massachusetts not far from Boston's Route 128 has become a world center of high technology. Hundreds of enterprises, mainly in electronics-based industries, employ over 250,000 people, 75,000 of whom were added between 1975 and 1980. Enterprises founded after World War II have spearheaded growth in the state, with a rapid rate of new firm formation continuing through the 1970s. This paper examines the state's high tech growth to determine what caused it to happen where it did and assess the special role of new enterprises in promoting it. The development is found to have been largely indigenous and spontaneous, rather than the result of a concerted effort to attract industry. Massachusetts' distinguished universities and their research laboratories, an inherited technological infrastructure, the importance of agglomeration externalities and the good fortune of having a home-grown firm become the world's leading manufacturer of minicomputers were major contributors to the state's successRoute 128: The development of a regional high technology economy - ScienceDirecthttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0048733383900094
