Once there is a new innovative startup hub, journalists would label the area as “the next Silicon Valley”. Since there are various “the next Silicon Valleys” across the globe, Slate has then created an interactive world map for pinpointing all the locations for presenting a whole picture for our better understanding.

There is a list of editorial pieces along  the map that users can select an article on the list to see the highlighted pin on the map and link to the full text by clicking the inserted URL.

According to the map, we can see the new hubs are named as Silicon Alley, Silicon Hills, Silicon Forest, Silicon Prairie, Silicon Square, Silicon Wadi, etc. Do you think these nicknames can really make the region to be the next Silicon Valleys?
