The Valley of silica
Silicon Valley or Silicon Valley (English: Silicon Valley) is the southern region of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States. This region has become famous due to the presence of a large number of developers and producers of silicon chips (integrated circuits), and currently includes all high-tech businesses in the region, where the name of the region has become synonymous with the term high-tech.
Despite the existence of many technologically advanced economic sectors, Silicon Valley remains the first in the field of development and new inventions in the field of advanced technology, and contributes to a third of the investment returns in the field of new projects in the United States of America.
Geography
Silicon Valley encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley, including the city of San Jose, southern Pennsylvania, and the southern East Bay. There are very large groups of major technology companies based in Silicon Valley, and new companies are being established there with a rocket frequency, despite the high cost of land; thanks to the highly developed infrastructure and exceptional human resources that characterize this region on the one hand, and of course, thanks to the important moral dimension that the process of choosing Silicon Valley as the company's headquarters carries.
