Nothing against the OP submission per se, but these frequent BBC stories titled "Is X the new SV" (and the corresponding posts to HN) are getting pretty tiring.

There are interesting points made about the different places and it would be nice if they at least could give each an actual different focus. I'm not sure it even works as click-bait anymore. :-/

Other very recent ones: Could Berlin be the next Silicon Valley - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26790422 Is Cambridge's start-up scene rivalling Silicon Valley? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-26683055 Can Tokyo ever rival Silicon Valley? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-26580038

If someone wrote a meta story contrasting all of them, that'd be interesting.

They're doing a series on places trying to replicate the success of the valley, so it's understandable although quite unimaginatively titled for each piece. I presume there will be a program dedicated to comparing them all once the series concludes.

100% agree, I would love to read that.
