Enquanto leio Silicon Roundabout: A patch of east London has quickly become a world-class technology hub:

"the fact that Silicon Roundabout also emerged without government support, or even direct links with universities, should pique the interest of countries that have tried to cultivate technology hubs without the same success" (...) "the entrepreneurs in Silicon Roundabout stress the unique draw of the east of the city, with its bohemianism and relatively cheap rents" (...) "But they all agree that the main barrier to growth is the scarcity of investment. Britain does not have a technology-focused venture-capital industry anything like as bounteous as that which serves Silicon Valley."
