The gold rush made the Bay Area the land of opportunity, and Silicon Valley transformed it into the land of innovation. But a seismic, global shift is underway. The champ has clearly lost a step due to chaos, costs, complacency, crime (and some would argue near-communism). Meanwhile, there are lots of hungry contenders that are gaining ground around the world. This week’s EIEIO breaks down the new global landscape with our updated rankings of the Top 50 markets in the Global Silicon Valley.
