We profiled different cities across the world that are not only challenging Silicon Valley's dominance, but what it even means to be a tech hub: https://restofworld.org/... Aanu Adeoye / @aanuadeoye : Glad to finally see this out. Our Fellows project at @restofworld on cities around the world where tech is booming. https://twitter.com/... Eze Vidra / @ediggs : Tel Aviv as one of the six hubs gaining tech prominence outside of Silicon Valley https://restofworld.org/... https://twitter.com/... @restofworld : Think Medellín, and, well, you know what comes to mind. The city is trying to use tech to emerge from the shadows of the past https://restofworld.org/... https://twitter.com/... Hemant Mohapatra / @mohapatrahemant : The well known secret is that India has several cities, not just one, that are already hotbeds of globally relevant startups. Story by @restofworld. https://restofworld.org/... @restofworld : Silicon Valley's status as the world's epicenter of technology has been steadily slipping. Our international team of reporting fellows took a deep dive into six cities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America that are reshaping what it means to be a tech hub https://restofworld.org/... @restofworld : Recife had a problem: it was producing plenty of tech graduates, but it was losing them to bigger cities like São Paulo. So it built its own tech hub to keep talent in the city https://restofworld.org/... https://twitter.com/...
