Could You Reproduce Silicon Valley Elsewhere?

Well, Intel ended up not building as many wafer plants as they forecast in 2000. They started a 10 story engineering facility in downtown Austin and abandoned it as a 5 story empty concrete frame when the tech bust happened, it was imploded a few years ago.

EE Times - Intel, Austin at impasse

Every similar sized city to OKC that I've visited in the last 5 years or so seems to think they are on track to become the "Bio Tech" capitol. Memphis being the most recent to come to mind.

I think one of the biggest players in the nanotube production market is in Norman, started by an engineering professor. It was called something like Southwest Nano Technologies.

Okc could aim for something like "Call Center Capitol". okay, that was a joke

Not me. Edmond has NOTHING on Norman. Literally nothing. It is a bedroom community and scarcely more.

I agree.
